Amaravati:Rebel YSR Congress Lok Sabha member K Raghu Ramakrishna Raju on Thursday gave a "reply" to the show cause notice issued to him by the party for allegedly overstepping its line, and raised several questions on the legality of the YSRC set up itself.
In his "reply, and not response" to the show cause notice, Raju questioned the locus standi of party general secretary V Vijaya Sai Reddy and threatened to take appropriate legal action for misleading one and all.
The MP also questioned if the party had a disciplinary committee constituted as per statute and said he would answer (to the notice) only when the committees existence was established.
He wondered how Sai Reddy could designate himself the "national general secretary" when the YSRC was only a "state recognized party."
"Our party name, as registered with the Election Commission of India, is actually Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress and, as such, calling it YSR Congress lacks legal sanctity. I shall respect and regard the rules, regulations, policies and procedures, ideology and philosophy of Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress party only," Raju said.
