Komatireddy warns BRS against poaching Congress MLAs

Roads and Builings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Wednesday made a surprise visit to the government hospital here as part of his tour in the district.
Later addressing media at his camp office here, Venkat Reddy took former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao to task for saying that the Congress government may not last for one year. The Minister wondered whether KCR was trying to purchase the Congress MLAs with the illicit money he had amassed. “If the BRS lays its hands on Congress MLAs, the foundation of the BRS office will be uprooted in Hyderabad,” he warned.
In all, 30 BRS MLAs are ready to cross over to the Congress, but the Congress was in no mood to welcome them, he claimed. If the Congress was really serious to woo BRS MLAs into its fold, none would remain in that party.
He took objecting to KCR calling Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy “lilliput”.
He dismissed the claims by KCR that the latter had gone on indefinite fast for a separate Telangana. The Minister claimed that KCR had taken Vitamin-D tablets during the indefinite fast.
KCR owed an apology to the people for encouraging corruption during his regime, he said.
The rice millers procured paddy after he took initiative and consulted the millers in Miryalaguda, he said.
He exuded confidence of Congress winning at least 12-13 LS seats and predicted that BRS would not open its account in the polls.
KCR apparently lost his mental balance after Kavita’s arrest. He said that G Jagadish Reddy, former Energy Minister in KCR Cabinet, amassed thousands of crores.
