Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao abuses his political rivals in harsh language but will tolerate if somebody raises even a simple question on his unilateral decisions.
Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson Dasoju Sravan said KCR was shouting at the opposition and abusing the leaders, calling them idiots and bewakoofs just because they questioned his decision to reduce the percentage of reservations to OBCs from 34 per cent to 23 per cent in the gram panchayats.
Sravan said KCR apparently expected everyone, including the opposition parties, to accept all his decisions without raising any questions.
“KCR could not suppress BCs with his arrogant talk and misrepresentation of facts,” he said.
Brushing aside KCR's accusation that the Congress was trying to stop Panchayat Raj elections, he said the Congress had never approached the court to stop an election. However, it went to the court seeking adequate representation for the BCs in PR polls.
Showing the open letters that he wrote to the Chief Minister on the issue, he said it was on 9th June, 2018, he had questioned only 33% reservation for BCs while they constitute 52% of total population as per the Intensive Household Survey held in August 2014. But he did not get any response to the first letter, he said.
The Congress leader said that High Court had directed the state government to conduct caste-wise enumeration of BCs in Telangana before holding the PR polls.
He said Karnataka has already done categorisation of BCs and therefore, it can also be done in Telangana. However, he said TRS Government simply ignored the HC directives and did not act on its directions for the last six months.
