Revanth harassing me since TDP days: Malla Reddy
The Hindu
Refutes allegations of acquiring lands illegally
The ongoing spat between Labour Minister M. Malla Reddy and Telangana Congress committee president A. Revanth continued for the fourth day on Saturday with the former making a fresh allegation that the Congress leader had been blackmailing him ever since he secured the Malkajgiri MP ticket in 2014 on behalf of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). “He feels I snatched the party nomination that was meant for him and ever since he has been harassing me,” the Minister claimed at a press conference here on Saturday. “The issue was also brought to the notice of the TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu and I showed all the documents to him as well,” he said. It was widely believed that in 2014 general elections Mr. Revanth Reddy, then in TDP, was in race for the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha seat but Mr. Malla Reddy, who was novice to politics, secured the ticket surprising everyone. The TDP in alliance with the BJP won the seat but Mr. Malla Reddy after a few months of winning defected to the TRS.More Related News
