HYDERABAD: TPCC president and Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy slammed Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for "crossing all limits of decency while targeting the Congress party" during his press conference at Pragathi Bhavan on Tuesday.

Addressing the media at Gandhi Bhavan on Wednesday, he said, "The language used by KCR to insult the Congress leaders does not suit the stature of a Chief Minister. In my 30 years of political career, never have I seen a Chief Minister stooping so low to target his political opponents," Uttam said.

Further criticising the CM, he said, “It is unfortunate that a person who began his career as a passport broker is now calling Congress leaders brokers. Is it okay if we call someone, who claimed that Covid-10 could be treated using paracetamol, a buffoon?”

Uttam said that the CM had imposed a salary cut on all the State government employees citing financial problems. “In the same month, crores of rupees were paid to various contractors. KCR is robbing Telangana’s exchequer to benefit Andhra contractors. He should not consider the State as his ‘jagir’ (personal property), just because his party has won the last two elections.”

That is why he is acting up,” the Congress leader said
