YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) president and sister of Andhra CM YS Jagan, YS Sharmila, on Sunday equated Telangana state with Afghanistan and compared its Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) as ‘President of Taliban’ after her arrest.
Alleging that there is no democracy in Telangana, she remarked that there is Taliban rule in Telangana.
“KCR is not the chief minister but president of Taliban,” tweeted Sharmila.
YS Sharmila, daughter of late CM of Andhra Pradesh YS Rajashekar Reddy (YSR), slammed KCR for what she called his double standards on various issues.
On the Chief Minister pledging support to the fight for the rights of Delhi, she asked why he was silent on the problems of Telangana.
Sharmila’s attack came a day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s visit to Hyderabad to meet KCR, as Rao is popularly known.
The Telangana Chief Minister assured his full support to the Delhi government in the fight against an ordinance brought by the Centre to nullify a recent order of the Supreme Court giving the Delhi government the rights in matters related to appointment and transfers of bureaucrats in the national capital.
KCR assured Kejriwal that if the Centre brings a Bill in the Parliament to replace the ordinance, his party BRS would oppose it.
“Did you ever fight for state’s rights? Did you ever raise your voice in the Parliament to protest the state’s interests,” the YSRTP leader questioned KCR.
Sharmila wanted to know why BRS never took up issues like the Bayyaram steel factory, Kazipet railway coach factory, tribal university, national status to projects, and hike in quota for the reservation to minorities and tribals.
She asked the Telangana CM why he did not visit other states like Kejriwal to mobilize the support of various parties to protect the interests of Telangana.
