Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is threatening and blackmailing Congress MLAs and this is the prime reason why our MLAs are defecting, TPCC chief Uttamkumar Reddy voices concerns, while cautioning that party will issue showcause notices to those who leave the party. Why should people vote for TRS when KCR failed to get all the assurances mentioned in AP Reorganisation Act0-2014 for Telangana, questions Reddy.

“I question K Chandrashekhar Rao to tell the Telanganites whether he’s CM for only TRS MLAs or entire the state. Our Congress MLAs are under pressure and threat from TRS. That’s the reason, they’re joining TRS. Otherwise, the TRS government wouldn’t sanction any funds and take up any development activity in constituencies represented by Congress MLAs. Further Congress MLA role has been reduced to less than that of a village TRS worker. This situation in the constituency is putting Congress MLAs under pressure,” said Uttamkumar Reddy.

Highlighting the failures of the TRS government, Reddy said that so far assurances such as Kazipet railway coach factory, Bayyaram steel plant, tribal university, ITIR, etc, have not been fulfilled.

“Why should Telanganites vote for TRS. There’s no doubt that Rahul Gandhi will become Prime Minister of India and Congress party will implement reservations for tribals and Muslims on population ratio. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi will tour Telangana and spearhead the Lok Sabha election campaign. Congress will bag majority seats of 17 Lok Sabha constituencies in Telangana,” maintained Reddy.
