Hyderabad, April 2: The statement of Congress senior leader and Rajya Sabha member Palvai Govardhan Reddy that there was no danger to the Congress government in the state even if 20 more MLAs left the party and joined the YSR Congress, as the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu would protect, stunned every one.This has been exactly the charge of the YSR Congress all along and the senior Congress leader admitting it surprised many including even the YSRCP leaders. There have been doubts that Naidu deliberately made his party maintain neutrality during the recent no-confidence vote and saved the government. TRS and YSRCP leaders had already charged the TDP chief of protecting the government in return for relief from probe into charges against him. It was even said earlier that Naidu met Chidambaram on a night in Delhi and buying truce from the CBI probe into his assets. But Govardhan Reddy saying it, astonished every one. Govardhan Reddy said many more MLAs of the party were going to leave the party and join the Jagan bandwagon. He said some ministers were also readying to join the Jagan bandwagon and even Congress President Sonia Gandhi knew about it. He said still the government would not fall. There is a hot debate in the political circles on why such a senior leader made such an off the cuff remark. Even if there was some secret understanding between the Congress and TDP, how could he openly state it, Congress leaders are privately discussing. Meanwhile, the YSR Congress leaders were enthused by the statement of the RS member. Party leaders who sat with Vijayamma in the fast camp in the New MLA quarters told her about the statement of Govardhan Reddy and the YSRCP leaders were seen discussing about it. As the statement came handy, YSRCP leaders are likely to make a campaign about it from tomorrow onwards.Palvai said they had information that some ministers also would be joining the Jagan bandwagon. It is already being reported that the jailed former minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana had already decided to join the YSR Congress. He is likely to join the party as soon as he gets bail. It is also learnt that Jagan had also cleared Mopidevi’s entry and even assured ticket to him in the 2014 elections.
