Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has alleged that the by-election to Munugode Assembly constituency is forced upon people by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unable to digest the increasing popularity of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at national level.
Speaking to newspersons here on Saturday, Minister for Energy G. Jagadish Reddy said the by-election was the result of an individual’s selfish interests and conspiracy of a party. Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy had betrayed people for extending his and family’s business interests as he himself had told him (Jagadish Reddy) six months ago that he had secured a ₹22,000-crore contract at the behest of some leaders in Delhi.
Mr. Jagadish Reddy sought to know whether Mr. Rajgopal Reddy had ever made an attempt to meet even him since he was the Minister from the district for the development of the constituency. If at all the resignation was for development, he sought to know how Mr. Rajgopal Reddy would develop the constituency being a BJP MLA, when he could not do anything as an MLA of another opposition party in the State for the last four years.
