DK Aruna dares KCR for open debate.

​Hyderabad: Former minister DK Aruna has thrown a challenge to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao asking the latter to come to her deeksha camp for an open debate on reorganisation of districts.

She said she would stay at her dharna camp near Indira Park in Hyderabad till September 4 evening.

Aruna and former PCC chief Ponnala Laxmaiah sat on a two-day hunger strike at Indira Park on Saturday demanding that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government create new districts for Gadwal and Jangaon.

Speaking on the occasion, Aruna asked Chandrashekar Rao or IT Minister KT Rama Rao or Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao to come to the camp for an open debate on districts’ re-organisation.

She alleged that the districts’ reorganisation was unscientific and there was no answer to the objections raised by the Congress in the all-party meeting held on districts reorganisation issue.

“We took up two-day hunger strike having vexed with the attitude of the Chief Minister,” she claimed and said that it was not proper on the part of the government to create new districts for political benefits.

Questioning the Chief Minister to answer on what basis the government was creating new districts, she said the government had the responsibility to prove that it was creating new districts scientifically.

Reminding that she was waging a fight for the last two months for Gadwal district, Aruna requested the government to respond at least now on the issue.

The Chief Minister had the responsibility to respect the public opinion, she said, and suggested Chandrashekar Rao to speak facts. The government was taking wrong decisions, she alleged, and warned that the people would teach the government a fitting lesson.

She alleged that the Chief Minister was behaving like a king and his Ministers were behaving like chieftains in dividing the districts. The Chief Minister was throwing challenges like rowdies, she ridiculed.
