CM for Cabinet post to a Mudiraj leader
Revanth cautions voters in Siddipet against supporting BRS candidate P. Venkatrami Reddy alleging that his business interests would further exacerbate hardships for people if he wins
In its e ort to garner support for Congress candidate from Medak Lok Sabha constituency Neelam Madhu Mudiraj, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has pledged to o er a Cabinet berth to a leader from the community, and also bring a change in the reservation category from BC (D) to BC (A).
However, he cautioned voters in Siddipet Assembly constituency against supporting BRS candidate P. Venkatrami Reddy, former District Collector of Siddipet, alleging that his business interests would further exacerbate hardships if he wins.
As part of the election campaign on Thursday, Mr. Revanth Reddy, accompanied by Minister Konda Surekha and Kodandaram, addressed a rally at the old bus stand in town on Thursday. He alleged that the BRS candidate had illegally acquired thousands of acres of land for real estate ventures in and around Hyderabad. The CM questioned BRS’ decision to nominate a non-local as candidate for the Medak seat, likening Mr. Venkatrami Reddy to a “land-grabbing serpent”.
He also targeted Siddipet MLA Harish Rao and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, accusing them of harassing Congress members, who sought to contest local body elections during the BRS rule. He reiterated that Mr. Harish Rao would have to let go of his MLA post by August 15 this year.
The CM urged voters to ensure the victory of Mr. Neelam Madhu Mudiraj for the welfare of BCs, and slammed the BJP government for its failure to set up the Bayyaram steel factory and Kazipet coach factory, under the AP Reorganisation Act 2014. He stated that the Modi government had only provided a ‘Gaadida Guddu’ to the people of the State during their 10-year rule.
