Roja meets CM, may join up

The Telugu Desam women’s wing president, Ms Roja, met the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, on Sunday and conveyed her intention to join the Congress.

The stormy petrel, who had earlier denied of a move to the Congress, also criticised the TD at an impromptu media meet. She parried questions on when she would make the move. “Time alone will decide that. I have not yet decided when to join the Congress.”

For the record, Ms Roja said she met the Chief Minister to thank him for getting the Rs 6,000-crore BHEL-NTPC project for her native Chittoor district. She praised Dr Reddy for selecting a woman (Ms Sabita Reddy) as home minister.

The TD, she said, had been neglecting her. She alleged that party leaders were responsible for her two electoral defeats. “How can I continue in a party where I have no recognition,” she asked. Mr Naidu did not react to the development.
