Hyderabad, March 18 Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday criticized BRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao for not attending the Assembly for the past two years, stating that the former CM has received over Rs 1 crore in salary and allowances from December 2023 until now as the Leader of the Opposition.
In his response to the Motion of Thanks to the Governor's address, Reddy criticized KCR for not being present in the House during the Governor's address at the beginning of the current session.
Reddy further stated that the four crore people of Telangana hoped that the former CM would attend the Assembly to formally offer his congratulations to the new Governor during his address.
"The Leader of the Opposition has received Rs 1,06,56,674 in salary and allowances from December 1, 2023, to February 28, 2026. There is a need for a discussion and decision regarding anyone who is continuously absent from their duties. I am not specifically mentioning any names," Revanth Reddy said.
He further appealed to KCR to come to the House and offer his valuable suggestions during debates.
Reddy stated that some people believe they are kings and that the people made a mistake (by defeating them in elections), and they are mocking democratic values by "behaving like dictators".
