KCR afraid of TDP: Revanth

Khammam: Telangana Telugu Desam Party working president A Revanth Reddy and Sathupally MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah said that they have people’s court to speak out the misdeeds of the ruling TRS though they were undemocratically suspended from the House.

Speaking at the Ambedkar statue as part of State-wide protest here on Tuesday, Revanth Reddy said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is afraid of his presence in the Assembly, hence hatched a plot to and suspended him and Sandra from the House without any proper reason.

“The day before the Governor ESL Narasimhan’s speech, we met him and apprised him of the designs of the TRS government. We told him that ruling party was going to claim credit for things that were not performed,” he said, asserting that he and Sandra did anything wrong in the House during the Governor’s speech.

The government should reveal the video footage, he demanded, stating that he would apologise if had misbehaved during the Governor’s address, or else the Chief Minister himself had to apologise to people in the State for bulldozing the spirit of the House.

Telangana State didn’t happen just because of KCR or TRS party, Revanth said, referring to the suicides of nearly 1,200 people who sacrificed their lives for the separate State. This apart, almost all the parties supported and exerted pressure on the Central government to achieve the separate State, he said.

Sandra found fault with the ruling party for defending Legislative Affairs minister T Harish Rao. Though TRS leaders say the circumstances that led Harish to tearing papers and throwing them at the Governor in 2013 were different and it happened when the Telangana Movement was in full swing, it’s not in the right spirit of the democracy, Sandra said.

He said that TDP will expose the anti-people policies of the TRS government. TDP district president Tulluri Brahmaiah, senior leader MB Swarna Kumari were among others present.
