People will teach KCR a lesson for not keeping poll promises: Congress

September 06, 2018 23:38

The Congress in Telangana Thursday slammed caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's for his comments against the party and said people would teach him a lesson for not delivering on poll promises.

The party also said the matter of the Election Commission holding discussions with Rao, when revision of voters list is taking place, was something unheard of and it should be taken seriously, Telangana PCC chief Uttam Kumar Reddy said.

"Is the Election Commission in match fixing with him (KCR). Before dissolving the assembly what was Election Commission speaking to him," Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president N Uttam Kumar Reddy asked.

"This definitely creates suspicion as to what the Central Election Commission is doing. Because on September 1, they ordered a revision of voters list of Telangana and the due process was to end on January 1, 2019.

After that the chief minister says he spoke to the CEC and they are going to conduct elections," Reddy told reporters in New Delhi.

Rao at a press meet said he spoke to the CEC and the Election Commission before he dissolved the Assembly, Reddy said.

"I am sure the Election Commission has a lot to answer for because if a chief minister is saying before dissolving the assembly he spoke to the CEC and the Election Commission what is he speaking to them and what are they speaking to him," he said.

Reddy said the next elections would not be about "Congress versus TRS. "But it will be KCR family versus people of Telangana."

"The people of Telangana will teach a befitting lesson to KCR for not delivering on his election promises," he said.
