17 MLAs quit Cong after Kiran became CM: Shankar Rao

Former minister Shankar Rao on Monday expressed anguish against Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy saying that he was acting as per his whims and fancies.

He demanded a high-level investigation on the GO issued on red sanders during his tenure. Stating he had filed a case against him in the High Court on July 10 last year, he said he would approach the Supreme Court, the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate on the issue.

Shankar Rao said about 17 MLAs, two MPs and 16 leaders have quit the Congress party after Kiran Reddy took over the reins of the State. Two MPs joined TRS yesterday. The CM has downgraded the image of the party and there was no one to ask for party ticket. Shankar Rao found fault with Kiran on the dismissal of Minister D L Ravindra Reddy.
