‘I touched KCR’s feet but you people cut my throat with a wet cloth’
Revenue, Housing, Information and Public Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said that an ‘Atom Bomb’ will explode soon instead of country bombs or Laxmi Bombs.
Ponguleti, who had said that political bombs would explode before Diwali, said that KTR had asked him “Who is Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy to say that?”
The Minister said that he had not mentioned the names of KTR and other BRS leaders in his comments but KTR had responded sharply.
KTR should go and surrender before the police if he thinks that he is in the wrong, Ponguleti suggested. KTR should respect the court’s verdict, the Minister said.
BRS leaders know very well that they looted public funds. Everybody knows what KTR has done and what I am doing, he said. Criticising BRS Working President KT Rama Rao’s comment that Ponguleti touched the feet of Adani, he said that he would not touch anybody’s feet.
However, he said that he had touched the feet of KTR’s father KCR before lakhs of people while joining the BRS thinking that KCR was a father figure. But the BRS cut my throat with a wet cloth, Ponguleti said.
Addressing the Torrur public meeting held on Thursday, Ponguleti said targeting BRS Working President KT Rama Rao, “Why are BRS leaders shaking their shoulders when asked who are pumpkin thieves.”
The Minister made it clear that the law will not let go of anyone and asked why BRS leaders are giving explanations if they had not committed offences.
Ponguleti said that it will be revealed soon where Rs 55 crore belongs to the government and then people would know who is what.
Ponguleti’s comments gained importance in the context of rumours saying that KTR will have to go to jail in connection with irregularities that had taken place during the Formula E-Racing.
He said that BRS leaders grabbed government lands, transferred them to their proxies and gave Rythu Bandhu money to their sycophants. He said that pink shirt-clad leaders grabbed thousands of acres using the Dharani Portal. The Congress government is bringing a new ROR Act-2024 very soon to correct mistakes committed by BRS leaders, he said.
