Telugu Mahila president R K Roja, who met Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy on Sunday evening, is learnt to have got an assurance from YSR that she would get back all the expenditure incurred by her in the elections.
According to sources, Roja told YSR that she had spent huge amount, to the tune of Rs 10 crore from her own pocket, to contest the elections and the TDP had not given her a single rupee. The Chief Minister, instantaneously responded saying that: “Don’t worry. You will get back the entire amount.” He instructed his advisor K V P Ramachandra Rao to look into the matter.
Roja prefers to join the Congress before the arrival of the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to Tirupati on September 5, so that she could take part the public meeting the next day. A close aide of Roja said she is now repenting for not quitting the TDP before the elections. “Though she got offer from the Congress many times, she declined as she strongly believed that she would be supported by all the cadres in the constituency (Chandragiri). But, Chandrababu himself played the game and saw that our leader got defeated,” he alleged.
