YSRCP leaders go all out against Kiran

                                                                              

In an apparent retaliation to Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy's attack on their leader and Kadapa MP, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, the Chittoor district leaders of the YSRCP levelled critical and personal remarks against him and his forefathers.

The die-hard YSR followers and the leaders of the YSR Congress Party's farmers wing in a signed statement not only referred to Kiran's own erstwhile Cabinet colleague Shankar Rao dubbing him as ‘red-sander smuggler' but also to the ‘unsavoury' incidents involving his (Kiran's) father and even his forefathers during the British era.

Taking serious exception to Kiran deliberately trying to portray Mr. Jagan as a ‘criminal and land-shark' -- all to please his Delhi bosses and protect his ‘gadde', the YSRCP leaders asked whether it was not a fact that his forefathers during the British regime had allegedly given shelter to two noted dacoits of that time. They also asserted that there are ‘watch out' entries made to this effect by a senior British police officer in the old records of the Kalikiri Police Station.

The YSRCP leaders asked Mr. Kiran whether it was not a fact that his father, during his student days. had not ‘assaulted' his teacher in the Kalikiri High School.

Turning to Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy they charged that it was he who allegedly put a spoke in the revival of the locked up Vijaya Dairy unit of Chittoor for an alleged quid pro quo from the managements of the private dairy units. They also expressed their ire at Kiran Reddy immediately after becoming the Chief Minister reportedly claiming himself to be a ‘Hyderabadi' and asked it was not an act of cowardice fearing attack from pro-Telengana leaders.

They also recalled the CPI-M state secretary, B.V. Raghavulu's allegation against the Chief Minister that he had ‘usurped' 4.32 acres of land belonging to the Dalits in the K.R. Puram area in Bangalore and asked why he was keeping mum on the charge.

Among other signatories to the statement are D. Gunasekhar Naidu, Adimulam, M. Ravichandra Reddy.
