Is Kavitha deputy CM, wonders BJP leader

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

Senior BJP leader Yendala Lakshmi Narayana slammed Chief Minister K. Chandrashe­kar Rao for having kept pending the constructi­on of community bhavans that catered to all BC communitie­s in Hyderabad.

The former MLA, at a press conference here on Wednesday, alleged that Chandrashe­kar Rao has been taking BC communitie­s for a ride with his false promises. He decried the injustice meted out to those communitie­s.

Objecting to the manner MLC K. Kavitha has been calling ministers and party leaders to her home, he wanted to know if she was Deputy

Chief Minister. Lashing out at BC leader R. Krishnaiah for meeting with Kavitha, he asked him to reveal the meeting’s agenda.

Lakshmi Narayana warned the Chief Minister that if he continues to neglect BCs, SCs, and STs, his government could collapse. He said that Rao had failed to construct the double bedroom houses for poor people and demanded that it should be taken up as a priority.

The senior leader gave a call to the cadre and BC communitie­s to protest at lands allotted for community buildings on February 8 demanding immediate commenceme­nt of constructi­on work.

In another press conference, former minister Vijaya Rama Rao condemned MLA Dharma Reddy for his comments against BC communitie­s. He demanded the Chief Minister to seek Dharma Reddy’s resignatio­n and sack him from the party for his provocativ­e comments. He alleged that Dharma Reddy had violated the Constituti­on when he jumped from TD to TRS as an elected MLA without resignatio­n. His anti-quota comments were also in violation of the Constituti­on, he said.

The former minister alleged that Dharma Reddy was running schools in Warangal without permission­s and was grabbing lands in his constituen­cy.
