Hyderabad: BJP MLA Rakesh Reddy launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and criticised his remarks against Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters in Nampally, Rakesh Reddy alleged that the Chief Minister was targeting Kishan Reddy for political gains ahead of the GHMC elections.
He accused the Congress government of failing in governance and attempting to divert attention from its shortcomings by attacking the Union Minister. Rakesh Reddy said leaders from the Congress party had themselves made allegations about irregularities in the distribution of party posts.
He also referred to the issuance of notices to a Congress leader over such remarks. The BJP legislator said the Chief Minister should exercise restraint and maintain decorum while making public statements. He further stated that Revanth Reddy had no moral authority to question the character of Kishan Reddy, Bandi Sanjay or Ramchander Rao.
