Jeevan Reddy Condemns TPCC Head's "Anti-TRS" Jibes

TRS leader and MLA Jeevan Reddy today criticised TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy for levelling allegations of land grabbing and corruption against Telangana's Labour Minister, Ch Malla Reddy, and the state government.

Speaking at a press conference about the remarks made by the Congress leader at Medchal-Malkajgiri district's Muduchintalapalli village at a recent event, the TRS leader warned the latter that his "tongue would be cut off" if he continued to make such false accusations against the TRS and its leaders.

"Revanth is resorting to making mindless comments against the ministers and leaders of the TRS. To deal with the situation, we have written letters to AICC chief Sonia Gandhi and party leader Rahul Gandhi against the TPCC head for his abusive language. Revanth is acting like a gangster. He has been using abusive language against Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao even. This will not be tolerated. We have complained to the Congress top brass to direct Revanth to desist from making disgusting remarks about the CM, other ministers and TRS leaders, and the Dalit Bandhu scheme and other welfare programs as well," he thundered.

"The leader made serious remarks claiming that Malla Reddy is a land grabber, and has swindled money. He even called the minister a joker and broker who dances to the tunes of the party leadership. I suggest that Revanth maintain some semblance of dignity as a public representative. Even his own party colleagues are appalled by his low behaviour. He must prove each of the charges of land grabbing and provide evidence of the same, or he should stop making these false claims," the MLA added.

Revanth Reddy's remarks about Malla Reddy have elicited strong responses from various TRS leaders. In fact, the minister himself had hit out at the Congress bigwig for his "objectionable language" just yesterday and had said, "I am ready to give up my post but Revanth Reddy too should quit his post of TPCC head. Let us both contest from the Malkajgiri constituency and let people decide who is good for them. Also, the leader should provide proof of all the crimes he claims I am guilty of."
