AICC secretary Madhu Yaskhi challenged the TRS MP, Vinod Kumar for a debate on the role of Congress in the formation of Telangana and asked Mr. Vinod to explain why the Chief Minister, K. ChandrasekHar Rao opted to head the Government despite promising that none of his family members would be in the government once Telangana was formed.
At a press conference here, he ridiculed the TRS for claiming that it was responsible for creation of Telangana.
He said if they could achieve Telangana wth just two MPs why can’t they achieve the promised 12% reservation to Muslims with several MPs and being close to the BJP government.
He also made some personal allegations against Mr. Vinod Kumar and asked how many times did he visit him for his brother’s medical college. “Did you forget your visits to the residences of Mr. Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mr. Jairam Ramesh for the medical college,” he asked.
Accusing the TRS leaders of forgetting the promise made to the people, he said poor people did not get their double bed room houses but KCR’s family members could build villas worth crores. Where did they get this money from? He said when KCR slept in his farm house, it were the Congress MPs who fought for Telangana even disrupting Parliament despite being in the government.
Mr. Yaskhi also lashed out at Irrigation Minister, T. Harish Rao for his reported statements that he was ‘disillusioned with politics’ and said this was a drama to get the support of dissidents in the party for his political future.
