Injecting political heat into the poll campaign in his native Mahabubnagar district, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy warned Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K. Chandrashekhar Rao not to try to poach the Congress MLAs or else he would be burnt like a crow coming into contact with a high tension wire.
Charging the BRS chief with continuing his habit of poaching Congress MLAs, the Chief Minister said any such attempt would leave the BRS in bad shape. “Forget the old habit or else you have to bear the consequences. I am Revanth Reddy,” he said. These comments came in the backdrop of KCR claiming that 20 Congress MLAs were in touch with him.
The Chief Minister, who was in Mahabubnagar to participate in filing of nomination papers of Congress candidate Vamshichand Reddy on Friday, accused KCR of ignoring the irrigation projects in Mahabubnagar district in the last 10 years.
