KK, Jeevan flayed for anti-Rosaiah remarks

HYDERABAD: Taking strong exception to Telangana Congress leader K Keshava Rao’s disparaging remarks on former chief minister K Rosaiah, Congress MLAs Amanchi Krishna Mohan and Madhusudan Gupta have described Keshava Rao and former minister T Jeevan Reddy as real villains to T.Speaking to reporters at the CLP office here on Monday, Krishna Mohan said after the December 9, 2009 statement by Chidambaram on Telangana, the Congress high command did not direct the state government to have a resolution on Telangana adopted by the Assembly.He said Rosaiah did not support the Telangana or Samaikyandhra movement and strictly followed the high command’s line.He said he was surprised that Keshava Rao and Jeevan Reddy, who enjoyed several posts in the party and the government, could not impress upon the party high command the demand for Telangana.Both the leaders were fooling the people with their lies, he alleged.Gupta said when Rosaiah was chief minister the CLP met but failed to take a decision on introducing a resolution in the Assembly on bifurcation.Nor did the CLP adopt a resolution urging the party high command to take a decision on Telangana.The CLP only said that the Centre should take a decision on Telangana on the basis of former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s statement that the issue should be settled only after obtaining the consensus of the people of all the regions.
