Former minister and Congress Campaign Committee Co-Chairman Mohammad Ali Shabbir on Friday alleged that TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao was trying to convert Telangana into a family unit.
He was speaking to reporters at Gandhi Bhavan after attending a meeting with Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee spokespersons which was chaired by Campaign Committee Chairman Damodar Rajanarasimha and attended by PCC chief Ponnala Lakshmaiah.
He alleged that by giving a ticket to his daughter K Kavitha for the Nizamabad Lok Sabha seat, KCR has proved that the TRS was a family-run party.
He was now trying to turn Telangana into a family-run state, he alleged.
Shabbir Ali said that KCR, along with his family members, had called on AICC President Sonia Gandhi after the passing of Telangana Bill in Parliament. He said that if KCR was sincere, then he should have taken the family members of the Telangana martyrs too along with him.
He said that KCR had always preferred his family over the Telangana martyrs. KCR should have announced tickets for the kin of Telangana martyrs before finalising a ticket for his own daughter, he averred.
He said that over 1,100 youth and students had laid their lives down for the statehood cause, and that their families could not be ignored.
He said that the Congress party would do justice to them, and bring development to the new State.
Shabbir Ali also informed that daily media briefings would be conducted by one of the 17 spokespersons appointed by the TPCC, alternately. (INN)
