Hyderabad: Senior Congress leader K. Jana Reddy on Saturday challenged caretaker Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to prove the allegations levelled against him in 24 hours and offered to quit politics if Mr Rao succeeds.
Mr Rao, at a meeting held in Husnabad on Friday, alleged that Mr Jana Reddy had promised in the Assembly that he would wear the TRS scarf and campaign for the party if the government succeeded in providing 24x7 power to the agriculture sector for free. The CM said the TRS government was supplying 24x7 power to agriculture sector for free and it was time for Mr Jana Reddy to wear the TRS scarf.
Mr Jana Reddy accused the CM of distorting his comments. He said he had offered to wear the TRS scarf and campaign for the party if it succeeded in generating 24,570 mega watts of power by the end of 2018 in the state. Mr Jana Reddy said “If Mr Rao fails to prove that I promised to campaign for the TRS if the government provided 24x7 power to the agriculture sector as claimed by him, then he must tender an apology.” He said all Assembly records were accessible to the Caretaker CM.
