Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday launched a scathing attack on Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) chairman Prof M. Kodandaram, his one-time close ally. The CM dared Prof. Kodandaram to remove the ‘JAC mask’ and face the TRS directly.
“Kodandaram is one of the lakhs of leaders and activists produced by me during the Telangana agitation. It’s I who set up TJAC and made him the chairman. There were people from all sections in TJAC then. Now there are none in TJAC.
“Where is the need for him to continue TJAC when Telangana state was achieved? He is using TJAC as a mask. If he wants to do politics, let him join any party and take on the TRS directly. We are ready to face him. I offered him a ticket in 2014 but he ran away. Now he has a grudge against the TRS and me and is making cheap comments every day,” he said.
He also accused Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi of killing hundreds of TS youth by delaying the formation of TS.
