Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president T, Jayaprakash Reddy has lambasted Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for his comments against Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy regarding the Gulzar Houz fire. Mr. Jagga Reddy said that the CM had alerted the officials concerned and instructed ministers to oversee relief measures immediately after learning about the incident.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, Mr. Jagga Reddy stated, “Kishan Reddy stopped thinking about what to do and did a dirty job. It’s unbecoming of him, acting like a gully leader. I felt sad. He is not the type to do that.”
Mr. Jagga Reddy questioned the Union Minister’s priorities, citing the Gujarat bridge collapse incident which claimed 140 lives, and wondered why he had not raised similar concerns then. He also mentioned Mr. Kishan Reddy’s Bharat Mata Yatra, where two people died due to firecrackers and another person fell into a tank bund, and questioned why the Minister didn’t speak out on those tragic incidents.
The Congress senior leader suggested that Mr. Kishan Reddy focus on serving the people rather than criticising the CM. He also maintained that the Chief Minister was acting responsibly, unlike other party leaders.
