Harish's exclusion from Cabinet resented

Gadwal: Telangana Rashtra Samithi Party (TRS) activist here has expressed their dissent over the way the TRS party Chief and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is treating some senior leaders like Harish Rao and Eatala Rajender.

Expressing his disagreement, TRS party Scheduled Caste Cell former vice-president Chintakunta Vishnu from Gadwal visited Jougmaba Bala Bramehswara Temple on Tuesday and broke 1,116 coconuts praying the lord to ensure justice to former Irrigation Minister Harish Rao. He felt that Harish Rao was sidelined by the TRS party chief by not inducting him into the Cabinet.

"We are not happy at the way the Chief Minister is dealing with the party leaders who had fought for separate Telangana State. The Chief Minister was giving priority to only those who opposed seperate Telangana State during movement and had handed over plump posts to Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Malla Reddy and others who had never taken part in the Telangana movement, he said.

He demanded that the TRS chief immediately make Harish Rao either deputy chief minister or TRS party president. "Among all the leaders in TRS party it is Harish Rao who completed the Kaleshwaram irrigation project. It is Harish who had taken out his extra time to help complete the Yedula reservoir, he said.
