Andhra Politics - Congress ;TDP;PRP;TRS

Congress senior leader and state financial minister Rosaiah made some interesting comments about the current state of politics in the country. Rosaiah attended the Jana Chaitanya Vedika meeting on Sunday and talked to the media about the politics in the country. He clarified that he will not contest in the next election general elections but would continue working for the party as an ordinary member.

He then expressed his feelings about the degrading state of politics in the country. He said that money is playing the most important role in politics today and that he had this urge to quit politics since a long time. The reason for him continuing in the party is because he did not want to earn bad reputation for deserting the party when the party is in need of senior leaders.

He cited an example about a politician in Karnataka (he did not reveal the name) who spent 27 crore for campaigning in the recent general elections. Rosaiah said that he, who introduced a budget of 90k crore rupees was shocked at the figure spent by a single individual for campaigning. He went on saying that the current politics is so rotten that, even if Mahatma Gandhi comes back alive, he will be allowed to contest in the elections only if he has the financial potential to spend in the elections.

Is Rosaiah hinting something about the state of politics in his own party?
