KCR Behaving Like CM In Emergency Era: Jaipal

Hyderabad, Dec.4 (Maxim News): Former Union minister S Jaipal Reddy today slammed caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for behaving like a chief minister in the infamous Emergency period than as caretaker Chief Minister.

Talking to the media in the Gandhi Bhavan Jaipal Reddy said KCR was taking away all the rights of the people. As a caretaker Chief Minister, he was exercising more power than a Chief Minister in office. The arrest of Revanth Reddy, Congress candidate from Kondangal constituency, is an undemocratic act. Such incidents were never witnessed before”, he added.

Jaipal Reddy said he had attended Rahul Gandhi’s public meeting in Kodangal. After all the Congress leaders left, the houses of some party workers were searched. Responding to the police search on party supporters’ houses, Revanth Reddy called for a protest bandh, which was to be held in Kodangal. But the police straightaway went to his bedroom, broke open the door like thieves while the leader was with his family.

Pointing out that KCR is a caretaker Chief Minister and not holding office, the police officials were behaving like puppets in his hands. He said this issue will be raised before EC. He said there was a pattern to this expression of fear as seen in the arrests of Jagga Reddy in Sangareddy, Prathap Reddy in Gajwel, and now, Revanth Reddy in Kodangal. (Maxim News)
