State may go to the dogs: CM

Hyderabad, Dec. 14: While predicting a landslide victory for the Congress in the coming Assembly elections, the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, said: "If the Opposition comes to power, the state will go to the dogs (kukkalu chimpina vistari)." He said this while participating in a computerisation programme in the cooperative department on Sunday.

He said that the Opposition was irresponsible and insensitive to the issues faced by the people and was only aiming to come to power, even at the cost of compromising on their principles. The Chief Minister asked the Opposition why they wanted to dislodge the Congress government and wondered if it was because the party took up unprecedented development in the state. He said that he was surprised that a party like the CPI(M) put its ideology on the back burner to work with the Opposition.
