Congress PAC Meeting in Adilabad Witnesses Ruckus

Adilabad:Differences surfaced among Congress leaders in Adilabad district during a political affairs committee (PAC) meeting held at Utnoor on Monday in the presence of minister Jupally Krishna Rao, AICC in-charge Sachin Sawant and DCC president Naresh Jadhav. The meeting witnessed heated arguments between party leaders, leading to a ruckus.

At the beginning of the meeting, Adilabad Assembly constituency in-charge Kandi Srinivas Reddy allegedly scolded former Adilabad market committee chairman Sanjeev Reddy for attending the PAC meeting and reportedly used abusive language against him.

Sachin Sawant and in-charge minister Jupally Krishna Rao tried to pacify Srinivas Reddy, but he allegedly continued abusing Sanjeev Reddy. At the request of Jupally Krishna Rao, Sanjeev Reddy left the meeting hall. Sawant reportedly warned Srinivas Reddy against creating a nuisance and using abusive language against fellow party leaders during the PAC meeting.

Reacting to the incident, Sanjeev Reddy alleged that Srinivas Reddy had a habit of stooping to a low level and revealing his “real face” by using abusive language against fellow party leaders. He said it was up to the party high command to take action against him. He further alleged that the ruckus at the PAC meeting was pre-planned and that information about it had been passed on to a section of the media in advance.

Referring to the incident, Kandi Srinivas Reddy described it as “a storm in a teacup” and said everything would be settled soon.
