Excise and Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao has attributed the motive behind the murder of BRS leader Sridhar Reddy to financial transactions and bad habits .The BRS leader was murdered at Lakshmipalli village of Chinnambavi mandal under Kollapur constituency.
In a statement on Thursday, the Minister expressed the opinion that BRS working president KT Rama Rao and other leaders have been trying to project the murder as a political murder. The Minister advised the BRS leader not to play politics over dead bodies.
On one hand, KTR says that details are awaited, but on the other called it a political murder, he said, condemning the double standards adopted by him. Within a few moments of murder taking place, KTR and BRS leaders started slinging mud on him, he observed.
Without ascertaining the facts, KTR and BRS leaders have been slinging mud on the government and also him, he claimed.
The people knew what Jupally Krishna Rao is, he said, claiming that he has a blemishless career in his long political innings. That is why people of Kollapur have been supporting him for decades. But, the BRS is not able to stomach his growth and hence politicising the murder of Sridhar Reddy, he said.
