Congress leaders shot back at Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s comments of dumping the ‘Congress into the Bay of Bengal’, saying it reflected the increasing fear of KCR that Congress was all set to come back as indicated by the low level of politics he practised whenever he was frustrated.
A host of leaders took objection to the Chief Minister’s comments at the Nirmal public meeting and said KCR had the habit of making cheap comments on the Opposition to raise his level of confidence. “Such comments demean the CM’s office itself and people are smarter as they have realised the dangers of keeping the BRS in power,” said Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.
Mr. Vikramarka, who is on a padayatra, said the Chief Minister would meet the same fate as Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Karnataka. Mr. Modi wanted a Congress-mukth Bharat and people gave a BJP-mukth southern India. Similarly, people here would ensure KCR-mukth Telangana. He said sitting in a responsible office, Mr. KCR should avoid such silly statements.
