Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's blistering attack on the Opposition parties in the State has evoked a sharp reaction from the Congress.
While the CM termed the Congress as “villain No 1 and enemy of Telangana people”, Congress leaders have alleged that KCR had turned a Rakhshas and was behaving in an arrogant manner. leader of Opposition in the State Assembly K Jana Reddy denied the allegation of the Chief Minister that the Congress was obstructing the development and welfare programme of the State Government.
An angry KCR held a Press conference to lash out at the Opposition after the Hyderabad High Court had restrained his Government from absorbing 20,903 outsourced staff in the State power sector.
A division bench of the HC ruled that the Government can only utilise the service of the contract employees on a consolidated salary but not absorb them as they were not recruited in proper manner.
An infuriated KCR said that the Congress was an evil force which had filed 196 petitions in the courts on irrigation projects to issue of employees since the formation of the State with an intention to obstruct the development. Calling the Congress mad, KCR said, “no sooner a GO is issued by the Government the Congress goes to court with a public interest litigation”.
He gave the example of Kaleshwaram irrigation project on which the party had exhausted HC and SC and now went to National Green Tribunal.
KCR said, “I have been watching quietly and with restraint. Now is the time for the real KCR to emerge.” He warned that soon he will undertake a Statewide tour and expose the Congress.
Jana Reddy, howerver, denied that the Congress was coming in the way of development. “We are extending cooperation in all the good works”, he said.
