Komatireddy brothers are immature in politics: Ponnala

Former PCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah on Friday alleged that MLA Komariteddy Venkatreddy and his brother MLC Rajagopal Reddy were politically immature.

Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here, Ponnala said it was due to their immaturity that they proposed announcement of K. Jana Reddy's candidature for the post of Chief Minister if Congress come to power in 2019 elections. He said that it has been the policy of Congress party that elected MLAs choose the CM after the elections. Therefore, he said that Komatireddy brother's proposal was ridiculous and non-practical.

When asked for reaction on Komatireddy's comments against TPCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy, he said that the Congress High Command was seriously trying to sort out issue within the party forum.

Ponnala also condemned the arrest of TJAC chairman Prof. Kodandaram and alleged that the Telangana was being ruled not by a democratically elected government but a 'dictator'. He said that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao has finished the very purpose of formation of Telangana State.
