Congress warns KTR against making ‘derogatory' comments on CM
HYDERABAD Congress warned BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao against making 'derogatory' comments on Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, and accused him of stooping to 'low-level language' and trying to incite political unrest. At separate press conferences at Gandhi Bhavan on Thursday, MLC Venkat Balmoor, Tourism Development Corporation Chairman Patel Ramesh Reddy, Road Development Corporation Chairman Malreddy Ramreddy and TPCC general secretary Chanagani Dayakar termed KTR's 'outburst' as 'rattled by the Kaleshwaram fiasco being exposed'. Mr. Balmoor said that the unwarranted remarks were aimed at instigating party workers to create tensions so that the situation could spiral into street-level clashes. Congress workers will not tolerate such 'nonsense' from KTR, he warned. Mr. Patel Ramesh Reddy said those speaking ill about the Chief Minister will not be spared, questioning the tone and tenor of KTR's words. 'His utterances only reflect the frustration set in the BRS leadership as they are bound to face punishment for their corruption and inefficiency in executing the Kaleshawaram project.' Mr. Dayakar said that the entire KCR family was shaken by the probe into Kaleshwaram project and KTR speaking in abusive language against the CM was not acceptable. Echoing similar sentiments, Mr. Ramreddy accused the previous BRS regime of turning Telangana into a 'debt trap' and said that the Congress government under Mr. Revanth Reddy was committed to reversing that legacy through comprehensive welfare and development initiatives. 'People of Telangana will give BRS a fitting reply in the local body,' he asserted. Later, Mr. Venkat Balmoor complained to the Cyber Cell against KTR and also MLA Kaushik Reddy for using their social media platforms to post objectionable and baseless remarks against the CM. He said that the defamatory comments posed a serious threat to law and order in the State. He specifically condemned Mr. Kaushik Reddy's remarks and said, 'It is unacceptable for a public representative to stoop to such levels and misuse digital platforms.'
