HYDERABAD:jan 26,2006- The Telugu Desam Party on Sunday challenged Praja Rajyam leader K. Chiranjeevi to prove his claim that TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu had described “agriculture as waste”. It accused him of “parroting baseless allegations” levelled by Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy “without knowing facts”.

At a press conference here TDP leaders Ummareddy Venkateswarulu and Arvind Kumar Goud refuted Mr. Chiranjeevi’s charges that the State-owned dairy had to be shut down due to encouragement of private dairy during the TDP regime.

They said the PRP leader should have known that the dairy after incurring losses was closed in 1991, while the Heritage Dairy was started in 1993.

Rejecting the allegation that TDP had watered down the principles of its founder N.T. Rama Rao, they said the party regime had implemented all the schemes. They accused Mr. Chiranjeevi of “talking through his hat”.
