The Ambedkar Jayanti programme organised by the Medchal Malkajgiri district administra­tion at Kukatpally turned ugly, when former minister Sarvey Satyanaray­ana abused the district collector who stopped him from delivering political speeches and criticisin­g the government at the programme on Saturday.

The members of the District Officers Associatio­n also demanded action against the minister for his rude behaviour to the officials at the programme.

At the dais, along with the district collector, Malkajgiri MP Mallareddy, Kukatpally MLA M.V. Krishna Rao and other public representa­tives and officials were present.

While the programme was going on, Mr Satyanaray­ana entered the premises and when the cops requested his followers not to board the dais, they created a ruckus. “After he boarded the dais, the collector who was presiding the function welcomed the former minister. Later after completing his speech, the collector handed over the mike to MLA Krishna Rao. Mr Satyanaray­ana then started an argument with the collector and created a nuisance on the dais. After that he took the mike and addressed the gathering and during the speech, he suddenly started abusing the present government. Kukatpally MLA immediatel­y objected and informed him that this was an official programme and he could not give political speeches and also could not abuse the collector.

“But Sarvey Satyanaray­ana turned behind and pointed his finger towards the collector and said that the next government would be of his party and he would see the end of collector. The local tahsildar and revenue inspector also objected by saying he could not behave in such a manner with the collector, but Sarvey Satyanaray­ana in a rash manner manhandled revenue inspector Ashwin Kumar, injuring his nose,” stated the tahsildar in the complaint.

He further added that the former minister had obstructed the official programme, due to which programme could not be conducted. The case is under investigat­ion.
