TPCC president Revanth Reddy disputed Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s repeated comments that they threw away posts and positions like a trifle of no worth in the Telangana agitation, and alleged they were thrown away in the name of selection and collection to accumulate wealth.
On the other hand, Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy threw away his ministerial post for the movement and never took it, he said, adding that was the sincerity of the Congress party leaders. Mr. Reddy, who spoke at the Vijayabheri meeting held at Nakrekal on Friday, said the 12 MLAs who defected to the BRS should not be allowed to touch the Assembly gate and such defectors should be taught a lesson. He was hinting at the BRS candidate Chirumarthi Lingaiah, who was elected on Congress ticket and joined the BRS later.
He said that the Kaleshwaram project was built on sand, spending ₹1.50 lakh crore, making its utility questionable. If KCR had spent a few crores to dig the SLBC tunnel for 10 kms Nalgonda district would have become greener. Kaleshwaram project has become a white elephant, he alleged.
