In a statement, Sravan argued that being a leader of the House, if the Chief Minister causes disrepute with his defaming and derogatory comments, only God could help the State. He suggested that as the Chief Minister of Telangana, it is mandatory for the latter to maintain utmost dignity, decency and decorum in his speech and action, which will bring respect to his Chair and uphold the constitutional values and democratic spirit.

“Elections are over, with clear mandate from people having come to power, it is appropriate for Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to focus on governance rather than indulging in politics of mudslinging,” he added.
