DL continues tirades against CM

Health Minister DL Ravindra Reddy, who lambasted the CM on Wednesday with his vitriolic comments, once again came down heavily on Kirankumar reddy today on the allegations faced by Minister Mopidevi Venkataramana.

Addressing a media conference in Hyderabad, the minister said that the CM had saved a minister of his community from the liquor scam and implicated the excise minister Mopidevi Venkataramana as he hailed from a BC community.

Ravindra reddy, who decided to resign on Wednesday after his portfolios were clipped but withdrew the decision at the instance of the PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, criticised the CM in his most inimitable style. “I am not the type to take suitcases to Delhi via Chennai or Bangalore. There are people in the party trying to eat the grass but I am not such a fellow,” he said in his first attack on Wednesday, adding he would continue to attack the YSR Congress party chief YS Jaganmohan reddy for his corruption irrespective of whether some people liked it or not.

In his second attack today, the minister asked the CM how far he was justified in his action of saving a minister of his own community but implicating a BC minister in the liquor scam.

Botsa questions CM

Sources said CM made a call to Botsa when Mopidevi was with him Wednesday morning to find out whether DL Ravindra Reddy had come to him. Answering Kirankumar Reddy’s call, Botsa made some plain talking to him about Mopidevi.

“How can you implicate Mopidevi now when you said recently the excise minister had nothing to do with the liquor scam? What happened to the Minister you said was connected to the liquor scam. How come Mopidevi name has appeared suddenly in place of that minister? Do you want to rule the state like a king by imprisoning all the BC ministers?” Botsa asked the CM for which there was no reply, according to sources.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that Mopidevi also offered to quit on his name being implicated in the liquor scandal but the CM asked him not to take the extreme step. (JUBS)
