Telangana Congress party affairs in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan has reportedly probing into opposition prevailing against the Revanth Reddy-led government in the state and asking party grassroots activists reasons for it. She also said to be probing allegations that ministers are collecting 10 percent to 30 percent commission for every work.
Expressing her surprise over Revanth Reddy government slipping public confidence within a short time after formation of his government, she is asking party leaders on the style of functioning of ministers in their respective districts.
She met with leaders of Warangal, Nagarkurnool and Secunderabad parliamentary constituencies at the MLA quarters in Hyderabad on Sunday. She is said to have spoken to the MPs, MLAs, MLCs and corporation chairmen of the respective areas separately and taken feedback from them on the Congress rule and the ground-level situation.
It is learnt that Meenakshi has inquired about what the farmers and the people think about the notices being issued to former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, as part of the Kaleshwaram Commission inquiry. It is learnt that she asked the Warangal leaders whether the farmers believe that Kaleshwaram has collapsed?
The Congress leaders have reportedly explained to her that the people of Telangana have not lost faith in KCR and that people see the notices being given to him as a political vindictive, while the farmers are tight-lipped. When the Warangal leaders were asked about the differences between the ministers, they made several complaints against Minister Konda Surekha.
There are whispers that they have asked Meenakshi to remove her from the cabinet and save the party. She said to be asked specifically, “Who is the minister who takes 30 percent commission? Congress sources are claiming she has collected details by specifically asking.
Who is the minister who takes 12 percent commission? To what extent are the allegations against the ministers true? Are there any other such questions she asked Nagarkurnool leaders? Moreover, most of the leaders brought to her attention the power cuts and shortage of seeds in the state. They lashed out, saying, ‘There is no unity between any two ministers.’
