MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy countered Minister KTR’s comments against him calling him a ‘covert Reddy’. He warned KTR of being careful with language. “I live my life with honesty, not with commissions like the Kalvakuntla family. What is KTR’s right to use the word covert? What is your level to call me? Politics is not about enjoying power and corrupting crores. The souls of the martyrs are screaming in pain, while KTR is enjoying foreign trips. KTR would know how to be a leader if he goes to any martyr’s house even once,” he said.
“What has he done for Telangana to call me a covert? fired Venkat Reddy. What is your language? What is your method? Did you study in America? In Guntur Gully? Actually, Do you know how you got Telangana? Do you know who has sacrificed his life? Actually, Do you know who was the first leader who sat on a hunger strike for Telangana Sadhana? If you know, Ask any small boy in Telangana and he will say that it’s Komati Reddy Venkatreddy who did that. Are you playing in knickers during the days of my movement? Venkat Reddy countered to KTR, “The people who are enraged by my hunger strike initiation, blocked the national highways, and made Delhi mend its ways. Anybody in Telangana can tell you that. How can you know that as all you do is enjoy yourself in a farmhouse,” he added!
“Ask the rubber bullets that hit him in Sagarahar. Ask the lakhs of people who walked with me that day. Who is the public leader in this state and who is behind the money? Take care of your sister before calling me,” he warned KTR.
