Chief Whip appointed as per Constitution: Sridhar

Countering the criticism of BRS MLA T. Harish Rao regarding the appointment of Legislative Council Chief Whip Patnam Mahender Reddy, Legislative Affairs Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu said that the Congress government appointed him as the Chief Whip as per the constitution. He said that Harish is habituated to politicizing everything. Sridhar asked Harish to reveal how he when he was Legislative Affairs Minister inducted Congress MLAs into the BRS. Harish did not remember the constitution then, he said. The Council Chairman and Assembly Speaker take decisions only after considering all facts, Sridhar said.
He said the government gave the PAC Chairman post to opposition members as per convention and that the disqualification petition is now in court.
