Kadiam Srihari Not A Dalit, Alleges TDP
TDP leader Motkupally Narasimhulu said Srihari was an SC Padma and not a Dalit as KCR claimed, and that KCR insulted Dalits through his dismissal of Rajaiah.
TDP senior leader Motkupally Narasimhulu on Wednesday said that Kadiam Srihari, who replaced Dr T Rajaiah as the Deputy Chief Minister, was not a Dalit.
Speaking to media persons, Motkupalli said that Kadiam Srihari was an "SC Padma" and not a Dalit as being projected by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
He accused KCR of insulting all Dalits by dismissing Rajaiah from his cabinet in a very unceremonious way. By sacking Rajaiah without even giving him an opportunity to offer an explanation, KCR had shown the Dalits their importance in the TRS, he alleged.
Motkupalli also alleged that Rajaiah's discharge from hospital on Tuesday night against the doctors' advice was a part of conspiracy hatched by the Chief Minister.
He said that although Rajaiah had suffered a heart stroke, KCR did not allow him to stay in the hospital fearing a backlash.
He said that KCR was intent on causing more damage to Rajaiah to save his (KCR's) image. (INN)
