TDP politburo member Ravula Chandrasekhar Reddy today said that since the KCR government had admitted to phone-tapping, the Telangana cabinet should take moral responsibility for the act.
Claiming that the AP government had concrete information that the Telangana government had bugged the phones of 200 persons, Ravula said that the way the Telangana government was behaving reminded the people of Indira Gandhi's infamous Emergency.
He alleged that by admitting to tapping the phones of many important people including AP's ministers, KCR had violated the fundamental rights of the affected individuals and the Constitution.
What did Telangana Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari, IT minister K T Rama Rao, MP Vinod and ACB Director General A K Khan have to say on this episode, he asked.
"Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao should resign owning up moral responsibility for carrying out the phone-tapping," he demanded.
The people of the state had discovered the "dictatorial attitude" of KCR, the TDP leader added.
