Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha on Thursday alleged that the Telangana Government appointed officials and politicians from Andhra Pradesh as directors of power utilities, advisors and members of the State Public Service Commission.
Kavitha, who is daughter of BRS chief and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao said people hailing from Andhra Pradesh cannot be expected to protect the interests of Telangana.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, she claimed that daily two-hour power cuts have begun in the State after the appointment of officials from Andhra Pradesh as directors of power utilities.
The BRS MLC slammed the Chief Minister for appointing advisors and recalled that when the BRS was in power, A Revanth Reddy had gone to court questioning the need for advisors. “After coming to power you have appointed many advisors. Have you not made them advisors for political rehabilitation,” she asked.
The BRS leader said that a new post of Advisor to the Assembly was created to appoint a man said to be hailing from Andhra Pradesh. She said Prasanna Kumar never worked in the government. She lashed out at the government for appointing a person hailing from Andhra Pradesh who earlier worked in the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) as a member of the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC).
She alleged that Revanth Reddy also appointed a team of his personal lawyers as the state advocates in the Supreme Court.
