TPCC working president T. Jayaprakash Reddy speaks to the media in Gandhi Bhavan on Thursday
Telangana Congress working president T. Jayaprakash Reddy made sarcastic remarks against the BRS leadership saying the Congress was strong despite being 130 years old, unlike the Kaleshwaram project constructed by the previous government that collapsed within a few years.
“Our government or the Congress is not as weak as the Kaleshwaram project to collapse in no time,” he said targeting former Minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy. “There is rebellion in the BRS and not in the Congress,” he said, alleging that the rebellion in BRS would come in the form of Siddipet MLA T. Harish Rao. Mr. Reddy was responding to Mr. Prashanth Reddy seeing a rebellion in the Congress soon. He alleged that the BRS had spent ₹ 60 crore in each constituency where Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Ministers Sridhar Babu, Uttam Kumar Reddy, T. Jeevan Reddy and Jagga Reddy were contesting. He alleged that the BRS spent the ill-gotten money from the Kaleshwaram project.
The former MLA said that Congress gives respect and freedom to its MLAs and there are many in the BRS wanting that freedom badly. “Could the MLAs ever meet KCR in the BRS government?” he asked. “Our Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will meet any MLA who comes to meet him.”
