Hyderabad: In a verbal attack against the Congress, Telugu Desam Party leader Chandrababu Naidu held Congress responsible for the ongoing agitations in Andhra Pradesh and said, "I don't want to play dirty politics like Congress."Hours before beginning his indefinite hunger strike in New Delhi, Naidu said, "The Congress wants to take political advantage. They are trying to appease both YSRC and TRS."Asked why he chose Jantar Mantar Dharna Chowk in New Delhi for his protest, Naidu said: "The trouble started in New Delhi. It is not internal issue of Congress, it is the issue of Telugu people. I want the nation to know what's happening in Andhra Pradesh. I want to start a national debate. I am a conscious leader, I know what I am doing."Meanwhile, YSRC leader Jagan Mohan Reddy's hunger strike entered the third day on October 7. While Reddy wants the Congress to revoke the Telangana decision, Naidu's stand on Telangana is not very clear.That is the reason why Reddy had said Naidu should spell out his stand on state’s division first. Naidu must write a letter to the Centre saying that he stands for a united AP.Jagan Mohan Reddy said, "if Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy is sincere about his support for a unified state why did he not convene the Assembly and pass a resolution opposing the state’s division and in support of united Andhra Pradesh "
