The Congress leaders in the state are planning to check the attitude of senior leader Jana Reddy who indirectly is helping the TRS and the state Government by making the right statements which are going against the interest of the Congress party which is already reeling in trouble.
TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, Leader of Opposition in Council Shabbir Ali, and most party legislators are said to be unhappy over the series of statements issued by Jana Reddy either in support of the TRS government or in ridiculing the statement of party leaders on certain issues in recent times.
Jana Reddy is going against the party line, we are quite disturbed by his statements. We will ask him at the meeting to stick to the party line or quit the post,” said a senior leader. Another leader said complaints had been lodged against Jana Reddy with the high command. Jana is behaving as he is hand in glove with TRS some leaders said.
It may be recalled that Jana Reddy had said there was no truth in Congress leaders’ claims that there was a previous agreement on the 152-metre height for the Tammidihatti barrage. This was contrary to what Uttam Kumar Reddy had said.
When Shabbir Ali and others demanded a CBI probe into the criminal network of gangster Nayeemuddin, after getting approval from the high command, Jana Reddy issued a statement the next day saying a CBI probe was not necessary as the Special Investigation Team was doing a good job.
