People are with me, says former minister
Senior BJP leader and Union Minister for Tourism & Culture G. Kishan Reddy on Friday said since the ‘Dalit Bandhu’ came into vogue only because of Huzurabad byelection necessitated due to the resignation of Eatala Rajender from the ruling Telangana Rastra Samithi (TRS), he deserved to be given total credit.
Addressing a meeting after the filing of nomination papers of Mr. Rajender, the Minister said this was poll between “dictatorship and democracy” with the ruling dispensation using all the official machinery at its disposal to win at any cost.
“Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao can’t stand anyone questioning him and wants to perpetuate one family rule here. We are proud to have made him launch the scheme for the welfare of Dalits and we demand every family should get the same. We need Mr. Rajender in the Assembly to question the government,” he said.
