Alleging discrimination against minorities, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Vice-President Mallu Ravi on Sunday claimed that Chief Secretary K Pradeep Chandra was not extended because he was a dalit by caste.
In a statement to the media today, Ravi questioned the Chief Minister on the reasons and motives behind extending former Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma's tenure but not Chandra's. He also alleged that both State and Central governments neglected Chandra as he was a dalit. On the other hand, the KCR-led government appointed S P Singh as the new CS of the State.
