Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy addressed a public meeting in Chinna Venkatagiri, Khammam Rural mandal, where he highlighted that despite the state’s financial difficulties, the government continues to prioritize welfare schemes while managing its debt. He specifically mentioned the loan waiver initiative for farmers and the ongoing construction of 4.5 lakh Indiramma houses aimed at uplifting the farming community.
Reddy also criticized the previous government, stating that the people of Telangana suffered under its rule. He accused opposition party leaders of misleading the public by claiming they would win the upcoming elections, exploiting their fear of losing support.
In a controversial statement, Reddy claimed to have evidence regarding K Kavitha’s bail in the liquor scam, alleging that central government ministers were involved. He questioned whether KTR had traveled to Delhi to influence the withdrawal of cases and demanded transparency regarding his meetings with prominent figures like Adani and Ambani.
The minister further raised concerns over corruption in the racing industry and revealed that he had submitted a complaint to the Governor, but had not received any response. He added that he suspected KTR was aware of significant developments that might impact the political landscape in the coming days.
Reddy also addressed the issue of Rs 55 crore allegedly being transferred abroad, demanding an explanation for how the money left the country. He implied that signatures were only obtained after the funds were received. He further warned that legal action would be taken against those who misappropriated assets that rightfully belonged to the poor, making a pointed remark about the potential for more corruption allegations to surface in the future.
