HYDERABAD: TRS leader KT Rama Rao heckled Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) founder M Kodandaram comparing the latter with a curry leaf. “Kodandaram wanted 70 seats in the Grand Alliance. Later, he asked at least 30 seats. Now, the Congress even denied Jangaon ticket to him. Kodandaram readied a ratham and campaign material for Jangaon seat.
The Congress used Kodandaram as “koora lo karivepaku” and threw him away,” Rama Rao said after admitting Congress, BJP and MRPS activists from erstwhile Karimnagar district at Telangana Bhavan on Sunday. A prominent Congress leader from Vemulawada Y Manohar Reddy who failed to get Congress ticket too joined in the presence of KTR on Sunday.
Rama Rao attacked Kodandaram by saying that the curry leaves are used in dishes and later they are thrown away. The IT Minister said that Grand Alliance seats were being finalised by AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu at Amaravati. Naidu would send notes and the Congress would act as per his directions. “Telangana people are politically aware and they reject notes and give votes to TRS,” Rama Rao said. He asked the voters not to hand over Telangana to outsiders like TDP, Congress and BJP.
Rama Rao said that the Grand Alliance took 70 days to share just 40 Assembly seats. “Those who failed to share seats could not deliver good governance,” he said. Congress symbol was like ‘Bhasmasura Hastham’ he said and cautioned the people not to believe the party, he cautioned the voters. Rama Rao said that while bouncers were guarding the Gandhi Bhavan, the Telangana Bhavan was abuzz with political activities.
On Bodige Sobha contesting on BJP ticket, Rama Rao said that she had no favourable situation in Choppadandi. If she continued in TRS, the party would have provided her better opportunities in future, Rao said.
