Congress leader and government whip Toorpu Jayaprakash Reddy alias Jagga Reddy has sarcastically said TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao needed to be felicitated for systematically succeeding in cheating the people.
Talking to the media here on Monday, Jagga Reddy asked whether it was not true that TRS leader T. Harish Rao got funds sanctioned by former chief ministers Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, K. Rosaiah and the present incumbent Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and developed his Siddipet Assembly constituency. While it was a fact that Harish Rao got funds sanctioned for his constituency, how he could state that Kiran had refused to sanction funds to the Telangana region, he questioned.
He said the Chief Minister’s speech in the Assembly was in a different context. Jagga Reddy questioned what KCR has done as Union minister for a year. Advising KCR not to mislead people, the Government Whip alleged that the TRS chief was playing with the people, by telling them lies.
Jagga Reddy claimed that Kiran was sanctioning funds for Telangana on a large scale. (NSS)
