"Investigation will bring out everything. At attempt at the character assassination of those who prempted the fall of the previous coalition government is going on," he analysed.

On the issue of ministers procuring stay order against carrying on vilification campaign against them, he opined that these emintiers would have approached the court as their own reputation and image are at stake because of vilification campaigns. He felt that they might have to go to the court to protect their status and dignity, which is not wrong.

On the issue of one nation - one poll, Sriramulu said that this was agreed in principal by the Congress when Indira Gandhi was in power. Holding all the elections together is beneficial to the country. But Congress leaders seem to have become adamant on the issue and taken a decision that they oppose whatever the current government proposes to do," he stated.

On the issue of reservation, he said that reservations should be on the basis of ratio of population. He said that the government is committed to provide 17 percent reservation to scheduled castes and 7.5 percent to scheduled tribes.

He said that the government will take a suitable decision on the agitation demanding reservation.
