Congress party heckled Telangana Commercial Taxes Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav for hurling a threat that he would put opposition leaders behind the bars if they continue to oppose the policies of TRS Government.

Reacting on the Talasani remarks, Congress leader of opposition in Council, Md Shabbir Ali said Talasani’s threat carries no value and he was not qualified to talk on Congress.

“He is a “bhagouda” (Deserter) and Telangana “Drohi” (traitor). He has no level to speak on Congress party or its leaders who gave statehood for Telangana. Let him put us in jail if he has real guts. We will also show our might to him,” Shabbir retorted.

Shabbir Ali reminded that Talasani how unethically he became a minister in TRS Government without resigning from as TDP MLA.

“Talasani should have resigned from the post if he had any respect for the law and Constitution of India. Despite being a ‘bhagouda’ and ‘drohi’ himself, he is lashing his tongue against the Congress leaders. We will prefer to go to jail for the sake of people than singing praise for anti-people policies of TRS Government,” he said.

Shabbir Ali dared Talasani to first resign from his post, face by-elections, get re-elected and then comment on Congress party and its leaders.
