Former minister and senior Congress leader P Shankar Rao, who does not let go any opportunity to criticize Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Pradesh Congress Committee president Botsa Satyanarayana, has once again got a chance to attack them.
Shankar Rao found fault with male police personnel frisking and checking the luggage of YSR Congress party honorary president Y S Vijayalakshmi and her daughter Sharmila, while they were on tour from place to place as part of election campaign.
“It is totally uncalled for. Are Vijayamma and Sharmila anti-social elements? Why should the male police check their suitcases? The Chief Minister should take stern action against the police for their over-action,” he demanded.
The former minister also criticised the chief minister for saying that Jagan would have to serve 14-year imprisonment in his alleged illegal assets case.
“Jagan is still an accused and the case is still in the court. How can he serve the 14-year imprisonment? It is not proper on the part of the Chief Minister to make such a statement when the issue is still sub judice. Such comments would harm the prospects of the Congress party,” he said.
