Kishan Reddy writes to CMs against K.Chandrasekhar Rao

Hyderabad:In a move to scuttle Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s plans of convening a chief ministers’ meeting to enlist their support against the Centre’s decision to grant special powers to the Governor, state BJP president G. Kishan Reddy has written individual letters to CMs stating that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao was spreading false information and wrongly accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being a “fascist”. 

 

Mr Reddy on Tuesday released copies of his letter addressed to the chief ministers wherein he wrote: “You, as a well-informed constitutional head of a state, will not be swayed in a wrong direction with this mispropaganda taken up unfortunately by an elected head of a state and his government against the Union government”.

 

He said attributing wrong notions for gaining petty political mileage through sensationalism seemed to be the agenda of the Telangana Chief Minister whose government and party were subverting facts and propagating wrong information under the guise of being marginalised because of being a non-NDA state government. 

 

His reference of a jolt to the federal system and overriding the state’s rights was irrelevant and totally out of context, Mr Reddy stated. He said that the Union government was simply executing an Act that was passed by Parliament during the UPA regime and nothing had been done by the NDA government oth-er than to implement it. 

 

Mr Reddy, who along with the letters, appended the full text of the recent directive from the central government for the perusal of the chief ministers, said that Mr Rao had been a MP when the AP Reorganisation Bill was passed. But he had not raised any objections at any point of time during the eight to nine months of the Bill’s drafting and presentation stage. 

 

In contrast, Mr Rao had, after passing of the Bill in both the Houses, had visited UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and praised her. “Neither him nor his party had raised a public objection to these parts of the Bill before they became a law which the incumbent duty bound Union government is implementing,” Mr Reddy
