Srinivas Goud challenged TPCC president A Revanth Reddy to prove the allegations and offered to resign from his Ministerial post if the charges were proved true
Finance Minister T Harish Rao has said former Andhra Pradesh Chief Ministers Nara Chandrababu Naidu and N Kiran Kumar Reddy, were mentoring TPCC President A Revanth Reddy and BJP President and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy
Farmers and BRS cadre in Telangana have slammed the Congress party over comments made by its TPCC president A Revanth Reddy against uninterrupted free power supply to the farm sector
Farmers at the Rythu Sabhas also passed a resolution denouncing the inappropriate remarks by Revanth Reddy and demanded him to issue an unconditional apology
While the farming community and ruling BRS party have already launched a massive protest against the TPCC president for his remarks, senior Congress leaders from the State unit have not come to his rescue
The two sides of Revanth Reddy were exposed over his attempts to credit, first the TDP and then the Congress, for exerting pressure on Centre on matters of power sharing between TS and AP on a consumption basis
Critics who denounce the provision of free electricity to the agricultural sector inadvertently reveal their contempt and animosity towards farmers and the sector as a whole
During the Congress rule in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, power was supplied for only six hours and farmers had to spent sleepless nights in their fields, said Dasoju Sravan
Besides staging protests, effigies of the TPCC chief were also burnt in different places of Karimnagar, Peddapalli, Jagtial and Rajanna-Sircilla districts
