Vijayawada: Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal today took a swipe at Sonia Gandhi, saying she “ignored” the groundswell of support against division of Andhra Pradesh by not listening to the party leaders on the issue.
“Unfortunately, the Congress high command did not listen to feelings of union ministers from Seemandhra, of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, state ministers, PCC president, MPs and MLAs,” Rajagopal told reporters here. He alleged that leaders who have become “politically irrelevant” were drafted in to formulate a proposal to divide Andhra Pradesh.
“..Some of the Union ministers who never won any direct election and some others who have lost confidence of the people and searching for new constituencies are actively involved in the process of bifurcation of the state,” the MP said.
