Hyderabad, April 11: Legislative Council member J Prabhakar Rao wanted Congress Working Committee member G Venkata Swami to tender apology for his remarks against former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, lest he would take up the matter with AICC president Sonia Gandhi.
Speaking to reporters here Saturday, he said it was not proper on the part of the veteran leader to make such comments. Prabhakar Rao critisised that by attributing ill motives to the former chief minister, Venkata Swami had humiliated the Dalits of the State.
Rajasekhara Reddy had won the hearts of two crore Dalits in the State but Venkata Swami did nothing for the welfare of the community, he said. The MLC alleged that the Congress CWC member had encroached upon the lands in the name of poor and objected to the demand of Venkata Swami to name an irrigation project after him.
