Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Saturday and briefed him about the caste census and SC classification and extended an invitation to participate in one of the public meetings to be held in the State soon.
During the meeting with the Congress MP, the Chief Minister informed that the State government would introduce a Bill on SC classification in the budget session. Time was extended for examining the objections from SC sub castes and the Commission was examining the same, he said.
Stressing that there was no political interference in the caste survey and SC classification, the Chief Minister said the one-man Commission’s report on SC classification would be implemented in true spirit.
The caste survey taken up by Telangana government was a road map for the nation. Opposition parties were trying to mislead people over the caste survey, besides instigating them, he charged.
“No mistakes were committed in the caste survey. A resolution will be passed in the Assembly and the same will be sent to the parliament,” Revanth Reddy said.
After the meeting with Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Minister held an informal chit chat with media persons in the capital. On the turncoat MLAs issue, he said the Supreme Court orders would be followed. Even before the verdict was delivered, the BRS was stating that bye-elections were inevitable, he said.
Sticking to his comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s caste, the Chief Minister said he had not defamed the Prime Minister. “I did not demean the Prime Minister either personally or politically. I spoke facts,” Revanth Reddy said and charged that BJP MPs were blowing things out of proportion.
No discussion on cabinet expansion
All the hopes of MLAs and other leaders aspiring for a cabinet berth were dashed as the Chief Minister clarified that there was no discussion on the issue.
“It would not be my own decision but high command would take a call on the cabinet expansion,” he said.
Stating that he was implementing the tasks entrusted by Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Minister said: “A few people might not like me and are conducting false campaigns against me and deriving devilish pleasure. I made promises to people and they will question me if I fail.”
