Revanth Reddy Behind Attack On Me: Malla Reddy

Telangana Minister for Labour Malla Reddy today alleged that Telangana Congress Pradesh Committee (TPCC) president Revanth Reddy had hatched a conspiracy to eliminate him, and was the mastermind behind the attack on him in which an agitated crowd hurled shoes, chappals and chairs at his convoy at Ghatkesar on Sunday.

Speaking at a press conference at his residence on Monday, Malla Reddy alleged that Revanth Reddy had sent over 100 criminal elements to the community meet in the garb of participants with the sole purpose of eliminating him physically.

He added that Revanth Reddy had been blackmailing him for over eight years, and was trying to tarnish his image everywhere.

"Since I have been exposing his misdeeds at each and every occasion, Revanth Reddy has hatched a conspiracy against me and is planning to eliminate me. The attack has already been brought to the notice of the police officials. I hope he will be put behind bars soon," Malla Reddy said.

For the unversed, Malla Reddy was facing a major embarrassment during a Reddy community meeting at Ghatkesar in Medchal district on Sunday evening.

When Malla Reddy started praising the KCR-led Telangana government in the meeting, the crowd, upset by his words, created an uproar, forcing the minister to leave the dias.

The crowd created a furore for some more time, and when the minister tried to escape in his car, hurled shoes, chairs and water bottles at the vehicle.
