BRS Mounts Fresh Attack on Governor
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The BRS which was at loggerheads with Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan when in power appears to have not lost any of its willingness to attack her even as an opposition party, with party working president K.T. Rama Rao lambasting her for her Republic Day address, and for giving her consent to the two MLC nominations forwarded to Raj Bhavan by the Congress government. Speaking to the media on Friday, Rama Rao said there appeared to be a ‘fevicol bond’ between the Congress and the Governor and cited the instance of her approving two MLC nominees under the Governor’s quota, one of whom was the head of a political party. He recalled that the Governor had rejected two MLC nominees proposed by the BRS government under the same quota as “they belonged to a political party.” The Governor, Rama Rao said, owed an explanation on how she approved the Congress government’s nominees as her salary comes from the state exchequer. Rama Rao also repeated his earlier charge that the Congress and the BJP appeared to be working together and that the quick approval of two MLC nominees of the Congress government was a quid-pro-quo with the BJP expecting support from the Congress for the Lok Sabha elections.
