Congress Rajya Sabha MP Palvai Govardhan Reddy on Wednesday called Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy's decision to strip D Sridhar Babu of the Legislative Affairs portfolio as an open challenge to the Congress High Command's authority.
Speaking to media persons, Palvai said that the Chief Minister has crossed the limits of having a confrontation with the Congress High Command on the Telangana issue.
He appealed to AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi to take stern action against Kiran Kumar Reddy.
He said that changing the portfolio of Legislative Affairs at a time when the Telangana Bill is about to be debated in the Assembly is highly condemnable.
Palvai supported the demanded of MLC Yadav Reddy, who had asked all ministers from Telangana region to resign en masse in protest.
The Congress MP also advised APNGOs chief Ashok Babu to refrain from making provocative statements. He said that "consequences" would be uncontrollable if Telangana people start reacting to his statements. (INN)
