A day after the Congress MPs from the Telangana region had announced that they would move a privilege motion against chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy in the Lok Sabha, some followers of the chief minister wrote a letter to AICC chief Sonia Gandhi on Thursday, saying that Telangana MPs were trying to implement the agenda of other parties to damage the prospects of the ruling party in the region.

According to sources, some MLAs, MLCs, former legislators and DCC presidents, who are loyal to Kiran Kumar Reddy, signed the letter.

The letter complains particularly against six MPs _ Ponnam Prabhakar, Madhu Yashki Goud, G Vivekanand, Gutta Sukhender Reddy, Manda Jagannadham and Siricilla Rajaiah.

“Sukhender Reddy and Jagannadham joined the Congress just before the 2009 elections from the TDP. Madhu Yashki, an NRI, was given the Congress ticket during the 2009 elections. Ponnam, Vivek and Rajaiah have a tacit understanding with the TRS. All these MPs have their own political agenda to harm the electoral prospects of the Congress in the Telangana region,” the chief minister’s followers from Telangana said and requested the Congress high command to initiate disciplinary action against the MPs.

Congress MLCs from Telangana _ Farooq Hussain, D Rajeshwar Rao and P Padmavathi _ said on Thursday that they had sent a letter to the AICC chief complaining against the attitude of the Telangana MPs who staged a dharna near the camp office of the chief minister on the day of the Telangana March.

Talking to reporters at the Assembly, the MLCs alleged that the MPs had behaved like rowdies by staging a sit-in in front of the chief minister’s camp office. “The MPs who had no guts to join the march, fearing backlash from the Telangana activists, tried to divert public attention by resorting to cheap political gimmicks like staging a dharna in front of the chief minister’s camp office,” they said.

The MLCs suggested to the MPs to take up lobbying in Delhi to persuade the Congress high command on the Telangana issue instead of confronting with the chief minister.
