Continuing his tirade against Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao, TDP deputy floor leader A Revanth Reddy today made some controversial remarks that the former was hatching a conspiracy to split the TRS party. Despite facing wrath from the TRS leadership for allegations against Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Revanth Reddy today made it to Telangana CMO and handed over a copy of court verdict cancelling Parliamentary Secretaries’ posts here.
Speaking to mediapersons later, Revanth Reddy alleged that Harish Rao has ‘hatched’ a conspiracy to split the TRS to ‘become’ Chief Minister by ‘dethroning’ KCR. He also accused Harish of trying earlier to merge the TRS into the Congress. Finance Minister Etela Rajender was a witness to this episode, he added.
As Harish Rao and IT Minister K Taraka Rama Rao are at ‘loggerheads’ for some time, KCR, who was failing to unite them, was touring the districts, he charged. He also slammed ministers T Srinivas Yadav and Tummala Nageswar Rao for defecting to the TRS from the TD. “Harish is frequently in touch with some of the Congress leaders for the purpose”, he alleged.
When asked, Revanth Reddy said the issue of extending support to Harish Rao in the event of a split in the TRS, will be discussed in the TDP politburo. It is pertinent to note that Revanth Reddy invited wrath from the ruling party, including the Chief Minister for making similar remarks some time ago. During Assembly session before Budget session, Revanth Reddy had said in the lobbies that Harish could make a better CM than KCR. (NSS)
