After facing bitter accusations from Guntur Zilla Parishad Chairperson Shaik Johnymoon that he was threatened her family members and discriminating her in the developmental activities in his constituency, Minister of Social Affairs Ravela Kishore Babu is now seems to be making strategic efforts to replace her from her position.
Even before the three-man committee headed by Deputy Chief Minister Chinna Rajappa gives its report to the Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu over tussle between the Minister and ZP Chairperson, Kishore Babu tactfully attempted to bring pressure on her to resign.
Everyone surprised when suddenly, he said that as per the agreement between BC ZPTCS, she has to continue in office only for two and half years, which was completed and the remaining term would goes to Amruthalur ZPTC Chandolu Prithvi Latha.
Though the ZP Chairperson seat was reserved for BC-Women, as he failed to field a Muslim candidate from Guntur East, which was traditionally considered as a Muslim seat, TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu selected a Muslim women for Zilla Parishad. This has generally generated some discontent among BC women ZPTCs.
Making use of the opportunity, Kishore Babu is attempting to mobililse BC ZPTCs in support of Prithvi Latha. However, district minister Prattipati Pulla Rao made it clear that there was no `condition’ in making Johnymoon as ZP Chairperson and asserted she would complete her full term.
But, Kishore Babu seems to be succeeded in flaring up groups within the party ZPTCs, by which he had successfully making many ZPTCs to turn against Chairperson.
