VHR flays Kiran's remarks in Srikakulam
Hyderabad: Kiran Reddy's remarks, made in Srikakulam district, drew flak from many Telangana leaders from both within and outside the Congress.
Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao said, 'By revolting against the AICC leadership, Kiran Reddy is biting the hand that has fed him. It is not appropriate for him to rebel against the party high command which has made him sit in the top post.'
He further said the game was over, but still the chief minister was trying to pose as if he was holding the ball.
'Kiran Reddy has been a good wicketkeeper and I am sure he knew who was going to bat and how before the high command took a decision. He can win over the hearts of the people if he explains what the reality is. But he is trying to hoodwink the people of his region,' Rao said.
Another Rajya Sabha member Rapolu Ananda Bhaskar asked the chief minister to realise that he did not have the power to stop division of the state. 'Even article 371(D) will not come in the way of division of AP,' he said.
TRS leader K Keshava Rao said the chief minister's comments clearly showed that he had conspired to stall the constitutional process launched by the Centre to form the T-state.
