Congress MLC Jeevan Reddy dares Minister to question CM on houses to Dalits

Congress MLC and former Minister T. Jeevan Reddy questioned Minister Koppula Eashwar’s criticism of the Congress SC and ST Declaration and asked if he had the gumption to question Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao on the number of houses built for the Scheduled Castes by the BRS government.

At a press conference here, he wondered why the Minister is so silent when the BRS government had snatched away the assigned lands from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes that are being sold to corporate companies at a premium rate. Let the Minister break his silence and question the government on deceiving the Dalits rather than pointing fingers at the Congress, he said.

Mr.Reddy challenged Mr.Eashwar to convince the Chief Minister to seek votes only in the villages where they had constructed double-bedroom houses while the Congress would seek votes in the villages where it had constructed Indiramma houses.
