Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao should first answer his own daughter and MLC Kavitha's charge of 'devils' ruling the roost in the BRS party. 'When his own family member is asking questions about devils in the party, the leader of devils is sleeping in the farmhouse unable to give a reply,' he remarked at a public meeting held in Aler in Nalgonda district on Friday.
Mr. Revanth Reddy said he had taken up the responsibility of throwing out the 'devils' from Telangana on behalf of the people of the State. The BRS leaders have launched a counter attack against the government for sending a notice to the former Chief Minister to appear before the Ghose Committee probing into the Kaleshwaram irrigation Project imbroglio.
'If one notice can confuse him (KCR), what about people like us who have been incarcerated in jail for several days? Does he (KCR) think he is God and above everything else? Is he not answerable for pushing Telangana into a debt trap and having ruined it?,' he asked.
Mr. Revanth Reddy said he had vowed to dethrone KCR and realised his goal with a single-minded approach and now his endeavour is to fulfil people's aspirations. 'I have the duty to set things right and my efforts are to put the State back on the developmental path to compete globally. We will take children of the oppressed sections on our progress path as per our leader Rahul Gandhi's vision ,' he said.
'Our government has been working relentlessly for the last 18 months and meeting everyone unlike the previous ruler. We are giving salaries on the first of every month and not as instalments. Employees unions are satisfied, but the BJP/BRS leaders are not,' he remarked.
He once again reiterated his government's commitment to clean up River Musi and provide succour to the Nalgonda farmers and criticised the BRS/BJP leaders for their 'opposition' to the project. The government had restored the name of Yadagirigutta and will develop the shrine on the lines of TTD – Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams as also the educational institutions in the region, he added.
The Chief Minister had earlier inaugurated or laid foundation stone for several development projects in the region in the presence of his Cabinet colleagues, local public representatives and officials. Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, R & B Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Bhongir MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, chief whip Beerla Ilaiah and others also spoke.
