Telangana Leaders of Opposition Jana Reddy, Shabbir Ali asks to stop criticism

Hyderabad: Leaders of Opposition in State Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council K. Jana Reddy and Shabbir Ali on Sunday condemned the comments made by senior party legislator Komatireddy Venkat Reddy against TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and appealed to party leaders not to criticise the appointments made by AICC president Sonia Gandhi.

Mr Jana Reddy said the comments made by Mr Venkat Reddy against the PCC chief holding him responsible for all the defeats of the party in the bypolls was not justified and that it was wrong to target any particular leader for the defeat.

“Any remark against Mrs Gandhi is not in the interests of the party. If they have any objection, they should raise the issue at an appropriate party forum but not in the public,” Mr Jana Reddy said.

Mr Shabbir Ali, meanwhile, asked Telangana Congress leaders not to criticising each other in public. Despite the Congress president giving statehood, Mr Ali said the Congress has failed to win the last elections largely due to infighting. Instead of worsening the situation further, he asked all leaders to work in a united manner.
