Hyderabad: Reacting to claims to Chief Ministership being made by Congress leaders in the state, Telangana Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader K. Jana Reddy said that the decision is in the hands of the party’s central leadership
Recently, several Congress leaders, including Jana Reddy himself, have been openly announcing that they are in the race for the Chief Minister’s post if the party comes to power in 2019.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, Mr Reddy said that in selecting leaders for any post, the decision will be made by the Congress central leadership alone.
Regarding alliances with other political parties, Mr Reddy said a decision will be made at the time of the elections and the announcement will be made by TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy.
“We have implemented a lot of good schemes, (more) than the TRS,” Mr Jana Reddy said.
Ten years ago, the Rajiv Arogyasri scheme was im-plemented by the Congress and became a model for the country. He said the Rythu Bandhu scheme should be extended to tenant farmers also. He demanded that names of leaders who have been accused of corruption in the Indiramma Housing scheme be made public.
