Nalgonda MP and senior Congress leader N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has accused Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekhar Rao of destroying the Civil Services cadre and said he would be remembered for misusing the IAS and IPS officers system.
“When you are questioning the Centre’s new move to gain control over the officers of the central service you should remember that you have destroyed the entire system diluting their power and image and insulting them,” he said at a press conference here.
