Natarajan holding ‘review’ meetings, Revanth a rubber stamp CM: Union Minister Bandi
KARIMNAGAR: Wondering how AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan could conduct “review” meetings with members of the state Cabinet at the Secretariat, Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Sunday claimed that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has become a rubber stamp in the hands of the Congress high command.
Addressing the media after participating in the BJP foundation day celebrations here, Sanjay also ridiculed TPCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud for stating that the AICC will take a final call on Cabinet expansion.
“Isn’t it the prerogative of the CM to decide on his Cabinet? What is the AICC doing by announcing Cabinet decisions? Isn’t this proof of how Telangana is being ruled from 10 Janpath and Gandhi Bhavan?” he asked.
“The AICC in-charge conducting meetings at the Secretariat and the TPCC chief stating that the AICC would make a final decision on Cabinet expansion are classic examples of failed governance in the state,” he added.
Sanjay, meanwhile, alleged that the Congress has struck a secret deal with the BRS and AIMIM over the upcoming Hyderabad local bodies MLC election. “The Congress and BRS are competing to hand over Hyderabad to Majlis. This election is a fight between a patriotic party and an anti-national party,” he said.
Expressing confidence in BJP candidate Gautam Rao emerging victorious, he accused the Congress and BRS of colluding with each other against the BJP in various forums, including voting together against the Waqf Board Amendment Bill.
“The time has come to end this corrupt Congress regime,” he said and urged the voters to support the BJP to ensure a “clean and strong governance” in Telangana.
