Jagga Reddy accuses TRS of misleading the people

Government Whip Toorpu Jayaprakash Reddy alias Jagga Reddy on Monday accused Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders of misleading the people over Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy's remarks that he would not give release funds for Telangana.

Talking to reporters here, Jagga Reddy said that the Chief Minister made a remark during a debate in the State Legislative Assembly in a completely different context. However, by extracting a single line from a debate, the TRS leaders are trying to mislead the people against the Chief Minister, he said.

Jagga Reddy asked TRS MLA K Harish Rao to explain whether the Chief Minister had ever stopped or refused funds for his Siddipet Assembly constituency. He said Harish Rao got funds sanctioned from former Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy and K Rosaiah. When funds were not refused for Siddipet, how can the Chief Minister stop funds for the Telangana region? he asked.

The Sangareddy MLA also slammed TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao and sarcastically remarked that he should be felicitated for cheating the people systematically. Accusing KCR of misleading the people with wrong statements, he asked KCR to explain his contribution for the region's development as a Union Minister for about one year and as a Lok Sabha MP.
