KTR is a 'China loafer', unaware of TRS roots in Congress: Shabbir

Hyderabad : Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir today charged that the TRS leaders were ungrateful to Congress which had given Telangana and political life to KCR and family. He said KTR criticising Congress was like grown-up children criticizing their mother who fed her children.

Responding to Telangana Minister K T Rama Rao's criticism of Congress party as "loafer party", Shabbir said in that case KCR was a "big loafer" and KTR a "small loafer". He said that the TRS should go for immediate elections if it was confident of winning 100 seats. "Let's all go to Amaraveerula Stupam near Assembly and decide to go for polls. If TRS fails to come to power, KCR family should quit politics. Else, we will quit politics," he said adding that KCR should test the water by making all defected MLAs resign and face by-elections.

Addressing a massive rally in Kamareddy, Shabbir said it was well known that KCR along with his entire family members had gone to Congress President Sonia Gandhi's home in Delhi after the formation of Telangana and thanked her profusely and also got a family portrait clicked. After such a show loyalty and obedience (false and fake show), a member of the KCR family is now calling Congress names. This exposes not only political opportunism and hollowness of TRS and its leadership but also its bankruptcy, ungrateful, family-centered politics of KCR

Shabbir also said TRS and KCR had no political philosophy and even the bogey of their commitment to the development of Telangana is opportunistic and deceptive. Is it not the TRS and KCR who have been hanging around UPA in (2004) and NDA in (2008) at the nick of results of the general elections then? he asked.
