Komati Jr questions Khuntia’s pick for PCC panels

​Hyderabad: Member of Legislative Council K Rajagopala Reddy on Thursday dubbed Telangana Congress in-charge RC Khuntia as ‘Shani’ for the TS party unit and questioned the appointments made by him to various committees of the PCC. 

Rajagopala Reddy, brother of former MLA K Venkata Reddy, while addressing his followers said that ‘brokers’ and ‘those who appear in dailies and TVs’ have been made members of the committees.  The Congress should decide whether they wanted Komatireddy Brothers.   He mentioned that he had called on Khuntia and told him to his face that he was nobody to take decisions in Telangana. 

“I am not afraid of the Congress in-charge,” he said. “The Congress will not win if leaders like those who have been appointed to the committees are in the forefront,” he asserted. 

Rajagopala Reddy said that there was nothing special about Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao and that he could enter the CMO by making false promises. If Congress could field the right candidates, it would win the next elections.  He said that they have been humiliated for the past two and half years and those who could not win in wards were given preference.
