Denying the Congress charge that the TDP's stand towards the BJP-led Government was hypocritical, Basha claimed that the TDP never compromised when it came to protecting secularism.

Basha made light of Congress president Sonia Gandhi's seven-point programme for the welfare of minorities. "There is nothing special in the programme. The TDP Government has already been implementing all the suggestions mentioned in it. ``In fact, previous Congress governments failed to implement them," he said.

On Pradesh CongressCommittee (PCC) president Y S Rajasekhar Reddy's demand for an enquiry by a Supreme Court judge into the alleged irregularities in the Janmabhoomi programme, the TDP general secretary said: "There is no need for such a probe. Let them point out specific irregularities".

He dared Congress members of the Legislative Assembly to prepare a list of works as well as the irregularities in their respective constituencies so that the people would know the truth. "Is it not a fact that most of the Congress MLAs got works done under the programme in their respective constituencies?" he asked.

The TDP leader dismissed Rajasekhar's demand for dissolution of the State Assembly, saying: "Let all the 26 Congress MLAs resign and get re-elected to the Assembly. ``Then we will certainly dissolve the Assembly," he said.Attacking Anna TDP president N Harikrishna, Basha said he lacked political maturity. "Otherwise, he (Harikrishna) would not have criticised the TDP government saying it had given up the ideals of NTR," the TDPgeneral secretary said.
