KCR intruding into other CMs houses as uninvited guest: Gudur

Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy on Wednesday alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar was intruding into the houses of other Chief Ministers as ‘uninvited guest’ on the pretext of holding talks on Federal Front.

Narayana Reddy, in a media statement, said that KCR’s tour to Odisha and West Bengal to meet Chief Ministers Naveen Patnaik and Mamata Banerjee was nothing short of intrusion. He said there was no formal written invitation or a media statement by any of the two CMs inviting KCR for a meeting. This tantamount to keeping the pride of Telangana people at the feet of those CMs. “Neither Naveen Patnaik nor Mamata Banerjee invited KCR to their houses. KCR has intruded into their houses and himself briefed the media later. While Patnaik was non-committal on KCR’s proposed Federal Front, Mamata Banerjee did not even speak to the media,” he said.

The Congress leader said KCR’s tour to Bhubaneshwar and Kolkatta only caused embarrassment to CMs Naveen Patnaik and Mamata Banerjee. “Since they could not stop a Chief Minister from entering their house, they extended ‘half-hearted’ welcome and then remained silent. Unlike KCR, both Patnaik and Banerjee are politically matured and committed to secularism, they will not fall in the trap of Federal Front which is sponsored by Prime Minister Narender Modi,” he said.

He said KCR’s tour to different States to pursue his political ambitions clearly shows his lack of commitment towards Telangana and its people. “Results of Assembly elections were declared on December 11 and even after 15 days the MLAs elect are yet to be administered oath of office and secrecy. The cabinet has not been formed and the Chief Minister has not signed a single file of public importance. While the rest of Telangana is waiting for the life to move on after the elections, KCR is busy doing religious and political tourism along with his family members,”” he alleged.

The Congress leader also asked KCR to explain his definition of ‘Qualitative Change in Politics’. “KCR never respected the Constitution of India during his entire tenure as CM. He did not implement the laws like RTI, RTE or Land Acquisition Act and tried to replace or amend every Central Act with a State law to suit his requirement. He almost legalized horse trading by buying out MLAs, MLCs and other elected representatives of opposition parties. He showed utter disrespect to courts by not implementing their orders. He enslaved the institutions of Legislature and Executive and neglected judiciary. He forced media houses to either praise him or shut their businesses. He suppressed each and every voice of dissent against his wrong policies. He indulged in large scale irregularities to win elections. Does he want to replicate a similar model at the national level? Is he seeking the help of other parties to smother democracy across the country?” he asked.

Narayana Reddy advised KCR to focus on development of Telangana than wasting time on self-promotion. He said instead of exploring means to divert people’s attention from his failures, KCR should concentrate on doing something good for the society at least in his second term.
