Accusing Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of playing to the gallery and enacting a drama with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections in mind, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and Working President Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka alleged that he was ‘misleading’ people by not honouring promises made before the general elections that brought him to power.
They were addressing constituency-level meetings in Malkajgiri and Charminar, respectively, on Tuesday, a day when modest gatherings of party leaders and workers were witnessed at five different meetings in all. Among leaders who addressed the other meetings included D. Srinivas at Chandrayangutta, Leader of Opposition in the Council, Mohd. Ali Shabbir at Nampally and Ponnala Lakshmaiah at Yakutpura.
At Malkajgiri, All India Congress Committee Secretary Ramachandra Kuntiya was present with Mr. Reddy and addressed party workers. They recalled that his promise of 12 per cent reservation to Muslims in education and employment had not taken off at all. Whatever development that was seen in Hyderabad was only during the Congress regime, they said.
