Hyderabad: BJP Legislature Party leader G. Kishan Reddy on Monday said Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was establishing a bad precedent by intervening in the Singareni Collieries employees union elections and even declaring a series of sops for the October 5 polling.
Speaking to mediapersons, Mr Kishan Reddy said that never in the past had Chief Ministers spoken about or intervened in the Singareni elections. He said Mr Rao had not implemented his earlier promises for the welfare of Singareni employees.
He said though there was no model code of conduct for these elections, Mr Rao addressing a media conference for the purpose of canvassing for the TRS-sponsored TBGKS and announcing sops was an “unethical practice”. He said Mr Rao had also deployed ministers and MLAs for the elections.
