TRS casino politics rankles Jaipal Reddy
“Byelection will not bring down the State government. The TRS government plays casino politics which is not good. But a defeat in the Warangal byelection may change the arrogant attitude of the KCR government.
Warangal LS bypoll termed a referendum on TRS government functioning
Hyderabad: Terming the Warangal Lok Sabha bypoll as a referendum to the 17-month-old TRS government’s performance in Telangana, former Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy on Tuesday requested voters to defeat the ruling party to ‘set right’ the State government’s attitude, which he alleged was indulging in ‘casino politics’.
“Byelection will not bring down the State government. The TRS government plays casino politics which is not good. But a defeat in the Warangal byelection may change the arrogant attitude of the KCR government. You (voters) should teach them a lesson so that they will set things right for the rest of their tenure,” Reddy told reporters here.
He also ridiculed K Chandrashekar Rao-led government’s claims that it had achieved 99 per cent success in implementing 2014-poll promises and said it had failed on all fronts. “The election is certainly a referendum. The fight is also between the Congress and TRS only. Please defeat the TRS to teach them a lesson,” he appealed.
Referring to the ‘encounters’ that took place recently in the State, Reddy said people voted for the TRS in haste and were now realising their folly. However, he was quick to add that he did not find fault with people for electing the TRS to govern them. Byelection to Warangal Lok Sabha seat will be held on November 21.
