Shankar Rao complains to Sonia about CM, Botsa

Former Minister Dr P Shankar Rao on Thursday lodged a complaint with Congress president Sonia Gandhi against Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Pradesh Congress Committee president Botsa Satyanarayana’s style of functioning .

Talking to media persons after meeting Sonia Gandhi, Dr Shankar Rao alleged that Kiran Kumar Reddy was acting as agent of YSR Congress president and Kadapa MP Jagan Mohan Reddy. He asked Sonia Gandhi to take serious action against the Chief Minister for damaging the party and government's image.

Dr Shankar Rao also demanded action against the Central Bureau of Investigation for acting in partisan manner without initiating probe against Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy. He asked as to why the CBI did not question Sabitha Indra Reddy in connection with Obulapuram mining issue although it arrested former excise minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao in the Vanpic case.

He also appealed to Sonia Gandhi to accept the resignation of Roads and Buildings Minister Dharmana Prasad Rao, against whom the CBI filed charge sheet and named him as fifth accused in the disproportionate assets case of Jagan Mohan Reddy.
