The other day, firebrand YSR Congress party MLA from Nagari R K Roja has alleged that the ruling Telugu Desam Party leaders, particularly chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, is hell bent on ruining her political career by conspiring to get her suspended for one more year.

Roja is of the view that she has become a nightmare for the TDP leadership as she has been raising very crucial issues in the assembly cornering the Naidu government. That was why the chief minister was going all out to see that she did not enter the assembly.

She asserted that she would move to the Supreme Court again if she was suspended for one more year.

However, TDP legislator from Payakaraopet V Anitha, on whose complaint the privileges committee took the decision of suspending Roja for one more year, said neither she nor her party had anything personal against Roja.

“There is no need for the TDP to ruin Roja’s career. What she is not realising is that it was her own boss Y S Jaganmohan Reddy who was ruining her political career,” she said.

Anitha pointed out that the issue would subside if Roja tendered an apology in the House, as mentioned by her in her letter to the privileges committee.

“If she says just one sentence, here will be no action against her, However, Jagan is preventing Roja from apologising for his own prestige as he thinks he can get the political mileage if she is suspended.

He wants to cash in on the sympathy arising out of Roja’s suspension. In the process, he is sacrificing Roja’s political life by not allowing her to raise the issues of her constituency in the House,” Anitha argued.
