Chairman of the Legislative Council Gutha Sukender Reddy made some ‘intriguing’ remarks against Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and its president and Leader of Opposition in Assembly K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday. He said that KCR had readied some political ‘lilliputs’ who have become MLAs and Ministers but neglected the party.
This was being seen as an indication of the Council chief making up his mind to side with the Congress, if not defecting now, ahead of the May 13 polling for Lok Sabha elections. He has made his political ambitions clear on several occasions from the time of selection of BRS candidates for Assembly elections to that of Lok Sabha elections, stating that his son G. Amith Reddy was ready to enter the political fray, if provided an opportunity. Mr. Sukender Reddy is a BRS MLC.
Speaking to a regional news channel, he said that any party would require a regular review of its position and introspection to move forward in the right direction. However, there had neither been reviews nor introspections in BRS despite the party facing political setbacks before and after Assembly elections. Perhaps, referring to Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao’s comments that some “lilliputs get huge opportunities in politics some times”, Mr. Reddy said that there were many “political dwarfs in BRS who had made fortunes overnight”.
