Shobha in the eye of storm

Three months ago when the party was in a similar situation, her style of functioning was criticised. Arun Jaitley, who mediated between the factions, asked the leaders maintain restrain in their behaviour. The RDPR minister resorts to silence whenever she is criticised by her party colleagues. This time too she chose not to react to allegations.

Interacting with media on Thursday, she said she was more concerned about relief works in the flood-hit districts rather than politics. “Senior leaders of the party are holding debates over issues concerned to the party. I am too small a worker to debate all those issues with media”, she said.

Asked for a reaction to Renukacharya’s comments, she said “I don’t want to react to his comments. Throughout the day I was busy attending to my department works. I am also holding a video conference with CEOs of all districts.”
