KCR showed his frustration of losing power at Warangal meeting, says Revanth Reddy

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy described Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s address at the party public meeting as a combination of frustration and deception, trying to hoodwink people of Telangana about the party’s ten-year ‘loot’ of the newly formed State.

After pushing Telangana into a deep debt, Mr. Rao is trying to blame the Congress now, said Mr. Reddy while speaking to reporters in Hyderabad on Monday.

He said Mr. Rao’s address lacked clarity and he showed his frustration over loss of power.

“Mr. Rao lost his heart the day I became the Chief Minister,” he said, indicating that the former Chief Minister is yet to digest the reality. His only intention now is to blame Congress for all the ills he (Mr. Rao) created during the last 10 years.

In response Mr. Rao’s claim that the government is unable to handle the ‘kids’ (referring to K.T. Rama Rao and T. Harish Rao) in the Assembly, Mr. Reddy asked why is he sending the ‘kids’ when he could attend the Assembly as the Leader of the Opposition.

Ruling out revenge politics, Mr. Reddy said he will not take the path taken by Mr. Rao, in an indirect reference to the investigation launched into phone tapping, Kaleshwaram project construction and Formula-E race.

“The investigation will be conducted in accordance with law and so will be the consequences. I don’t want to arrest people like Mr. Rao did during his time,” said Mr. Reddy
