Congress Minister Komatireddy Venkata Reddy challenged former chief minister and BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao’s claims that his party will win 8 to 12 Lok Sabha seats in the present elections. He said that if BRS wins such a number of seats he would resign from the cabinet.
He said that he will resign even if BRS wins a lower number of 8 Lok Sabha seats. KCR, said in a debate on a TV channel on Tuesday evening that BRS is likely to win 8 to 12 MP seats. Komati Reddy accused that KCR is telling all lies. He said that KCR did not solve the fluoride problem in Nalgonda.
Komati Reddy also strongly refuted KCR’s claims that as many as 25 Congress MLAs are in touch with him. Claiming about 25 MLAs from BRS are ready to join Congress, Komatireddy challenged them to reveal their names. He asked can KCR reveal Congress MLAs names who are in touch with him?
Komatireddy expressed confidence that the Congress party is winning 12 MP seats in Telangana in the next parliamentary elections. He also refuted KCR’s comments that the chief minister or ministers will not hold responsibility for phone tapping in a government. He asserted that the chief minister and cabinet should be held responsible for any such mischief in a government.
Meanwhile, former BRS finance minister T. Harish Rao said that he is ready to take on the challenge of chief minister Revanth Reddy on loan waiver. He challenged Revanth Reddy that he will resign from the post of MLA if loan is waived by August 15. If the loan is not waived, will Revanth resign from the post of CM?, he asked.
If the Chief Minister is ready to accept his challenge, dare him to come to the Assembly premises in two days. Let both of us swear before the Martyrs Stupam, he said. He challenged Revanth to implement all the guarantees given to people by August 15. On August 15, he said that he will resign from his MLA post if the loan is fully waived and will not contest again in the by-elections.
