KCR’s remarks on Jana Reddy distasteful, indecent: Cong.

‘Jana Reddy spoke high of KCR, gave up CM’s post’

Telangana Congress took strong objection to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s reported comments with TRS leaders that he would ensure Congress leader K. Jana Reddy ends his political career, and termed the comments as ‘distasteful’ and ‘indecent’ on a man who turned down the Chief Minister post for Telangana. At a press conference here, former Minister Shabbir Ali and former MP Mallu Ravi said that it was Mr. Jana Reddy who vouched for KCR when no one was ready to trust him during the Telangana agitation. He had always spoken high of KCR with the Congress high command to create positive vibes for Telangana but instead of being thankful to him, KCR is shamelessly making indecent comments like sending Jana Reddy to ‘permanent retirement’, they said. Mr. Shabbir Ali said Mr. Jana Reddy was offered the Chief Minister’s post during the peak of the statehood movement but he declined the offer as he didn’t want to compromise on separate Telangana. Mr. Jana Reddy was instrumental in the formation of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) to spearhead the agitation and always believed in ethics, morals and value-based politics, he said.
