Won’t tolerate Eatala arrest: Kishan Reddy

Union Minister virtually addresses State executive party meet

Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy on Sunday charged the TRS govt. of trying to arrest and put former Minister E. Rajender behind bars and warned that he is a member of the BJP now, therefore the party would not “sit quietly” and watch the development. “Mr. Rajender and his family are now part of the party. He is being harassed by the State government and the police. But, he is part of our family and has total support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We will ensure that he wins even if he is put behind bars unjustly,” he maintained. The Minister was addressing the State executive virtually from the party office where he also said that the byelection victory is “confirmed” with the even the ruling party admitting the same privately. He also advised Chief Ministers of TS and AP to sort out the Krishna waters distribution issue amicably instead of resorting to “sabre rattling with provocative statements”.
