KHAMMAM/HYDERABAD: Congress leader and the party’s candidate from Khammam Lok Sabha constituency, Renuka Chowdhury, on Wednesday claimed that TRS government was not interested in purchasing cotton from farmers. But it is ready to purchase Opposition MLAs, she said.
Speaking in Palair Assembly segment on Wednesday, Chowdhury said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was acting devoid of moral values. “It is pitiful that MLAs are being purchased like cattle. In the name of Operation Akarsh, KCR is encouraging defections, which is a violation of rules,” she remarked.
