CM, Botsa violated party discipline: TJR

Former Minister T Jeevan Reddy on Thursday accused Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana of violating the party's discipline on several counts.

Talking to reporters in the Assembly premises, Jeevan Reddy said that the Chief Minister and PCC Chief went against the decision of Congress High Command on the Telangana issue. They gave preference to their own choice, than accepting the decision announced by Congress Working Committee. He said that Kiran Kumar Reddy was repeating the same mistake committed by the then Chief Minister K Rosaiah after December 9, 2009.

Jeevan Reddy ridiculed the claim of Seemandhra leaders that they played a role in development of Hyderabad. He said the entire infrastructure including Secretariat, Assembly, High Court, University, public hospitals and other building were constructed by last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan. He said the Seemandhra leaders only looted the natural resources of Telangana region, encroached upon the lands of Hyderabad and its surroundings and shifted this revenue to Andhra region.
