Rayalaseema Rights Forum president TG Venkatesh on Friday warned Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao of serious consequences if the reports of him blackmailing industrialists are true.
Referring to the conference of Industrialists held at a star hotel on September 22 which KCR attended, Mr Venkatesh alleged that the TRS chief was resorting to blackmailing tactics and extorting money from industrialists.
He alleged that KCR was threatening industrialists with dire consequences if they did not extend support to the Telangana statehood agitation.
He appealed to state government to initiate action against KCR for threatening the industrialists with dire consequences.
He also criticized the Telangana Lawyers JAC for demanding removal of Law Secretary as he belonged to Rayalaseema. ”If the government bows to demands of Telangana leaders, they will ask for shifting of Lord Venkateswara hill shrine in Tirupati to Hyderabad,” he stated.
