Hyderabad: Union minister and Telanana BJP chief G Kishan Reddy on Monday asked chief minister A Revanth Reddy to hand over the cases of phone tapping, Formula E race and Kaleshwaram project to CBI.
Responding to the CM’s allegations during the MLC election campaign that BJP-led NDA govt was protecting the BRS leaders in many cases, including phone tapping, he said: “CM Revanth Reddy is anxious about losing the MLC elections. Despite being in power, he lacks the courage to contest for three seats and is only contesting one. Even in that seat, the BJP is likely to win, so he is making base allegations.”
He claimed that Congress was not even serious about MLC elections and the CM hastily organised a public meeting under pressure from party leadership.
“Even in that meeting, he spoke as if he were still in the opposition. His speech was incoherent, leaving people confused about whom he was talking about and why. He spoke with a sense of despair and frustration, as if conceding defeat before the elections even took place,” Kishan Reddy remarked.
He also said that in 14 months of governance, the Congress government had betrayed the people.
“While the BRS oppressed the people for nearly 10 years, the Congress managed to do the same in just 14 months. Only the flags have changed, the lives of the people have not,” he said
Meanwhile, Kishan Reddy has written a letter to the CM to release fee reimbursement amounts and other pending dues of employees. “Without doing anything on these issues, CM should not ask for votes in MLC polls.”
