Opposition parties provoking tribals for political gains: MLA S Saidireddy
Saidireddy said while Uttam Kumar Reddy was trying to blame the State government for his crimes, BJP State president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar was staging a drama in the name of Girijana Bharosa Yatra.
Hyderabad: In a strong counter, Huzurnagar MLA S Saidireddy rubbished the allegations of Opposition parties against him in connection with the alleged land encroachments in Gurrambodu thanda of Pedaveedu in Matampally mandal of Suryapet district. He offered to resign from his MLA seat if the Opposition leaders proved the allegations against him and challenged them to resign from their elected positions if they failed to do so.
“TPCC president and MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy encouraged land encroachments and fake land pattas during his stint as MLA and Minister in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. But after I won in the bypolls, I have been striving to ensure justice for the victims. Two MROs were suspended due to complaints lodged during my term,” the MLA said, speaking to media at TRS Legislative Party office here on Monday.
Stating that Opposition leaders were targeting him only for political mileage, Saidireddy said while Uttam Kumar Reddy was trying to blame the State government for his crimes, BJP State president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar was staging a drama in the name of Girijana Bharosa Yatra. He said both the parties were seeking to gain public support ahead of the Nagarjuna Sagar bypolls.
Devarakonda MLA Ravindra Kumar Ramavath said the BJP leaders had no love or affection towards the tribals as they were only interested in votes. He said the BJP was resorting to divisive politics among the tribals, and that only the TRS government was working for development and welfare of the tribals with commitment. “Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao upgraded several tribal hamlets into gram panchayats for their development,” he said.
MP Badugula Lingaiah Yadav also spoke and advised the Opposition leaders to be cautious while speaking against the Chief Minister and the TRS government.
