Frustration Driving KTR Remarks Ahead Of Telangana Municipal Elections: Ponguleti
Hyderabad, Feb 10 (Maxim News): Telangana Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy on Tuesday said former minister K T Rama Rao was making offensive remarks out of frustration, as people were set to back Congress in the Telangana municipal elections.
Speaking to the media in Khammam, Ponguleti strongly condemned KTR’s comments against Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and other senior leaders. He said BRS leaders had realised an electoral defeat and were reacting in desperation.
Congress confident of major gains in Telangana municipal elections
Ponguleti recalled that KTR had earlier challenged rivals during the Jubilee Hills election but suffered defeat there.
Ponguleti said a similar outcome awaited the BRS in the municipal polls, adding that Congress would win over 80 percent of municipalities.
He alleged that BRS leaders continued to indulge in phone tapping. Ponguleti questioned how details of his conference calls were being cited by opponents, unless illegal surveillance was still taking place. He said the government would conduct inquiries to identify remaining devices and take legal action.
The minister said Congress had focused on welfare and development over the past two years. He cited job recruitment, farm loan waivers, and farmer support schemes as key achievements under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s leadership.
Ponguleti reiterated that he was not in the race for the chief minister’s post.
Ponguleti said decisions on administrative issues, including district restructuring, would be discussed in the Assembly after reviewing public representations. (Maxim News)
