Harish Rao hits out at Ponguleti for ‘lying’ on illegal mining, land-grabbing

HYDERABAD

Deputy Floor Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the Assembly T. Harish Rao has observed that Minister for Revenue and Housing Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy has resorted to unparliamentary and filthy language against BRS leaders purely out of frustration as he finds himself pushed into defence with the involvement of his family concerns in illegal mining and land-grabbing.

The two issues were brought to people’s notice by BRS in the Assembly and outside recently, and unable to face the reality, Mr. Srinivasa Reddy was targeting the BRS leaders in the absence of any support from his Cabinet and party colleagues, Mr. Rao said speaking to newspersons at Nagapur village in Wanaparthy district on Thursday.
