HYDERABAD: Several Left parties on Wednesday demanded immediate resignation of industries minister and Chief Minister’s son KT Rama Rao from the ministry and as well as from the Assembly for holding ‘profit of business’. The opposition parties contended that KTR was a director of Himanshu Motors and his continuance in the state cabinet was unethical and wanted KCR to respond on the same.
The Left parties submitted a memorandum to this effect to chief electoral officer Bhanwar Lal who assured them that he would report the matter to the Central Election Commission in Delhi and act as per the rules and guidelines. “KTR remaining in the cabinet is nothing but a serious violation of Section 9A of the Representation of People Act, 1951, which deals disqualification for government contracts,” the Left parties said in their memorandum.
