MLC Ponguleti demands apology from Rahul for remarks on Rafale deal

Khammam: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy demanded that former AICC president Rahul Gandhi apologise for his remarks on Rafale deal. While addressing the media on Friday, the former MLC said that the citizens of India were happy with the Modi government. He said the Supreme Court has given a clean chit to the Narendra Modi government and the comments by AICC leader Rahul Gandhi were rubbish.

Reddy while reacting to a question on RTC strike said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was behaving very adamantly regarding the RTC issue. He said the JAC leaders already said that they will set aside their merger demand, but why is the government still not holding talks with the RTC union leaders, he questioned. He demanded that the government immediately hold talks with the RTC union and solve issue.

Speaking on Kaleshwaram Project, he questioned why the AP government has been objecting to the project. He said the Chief Minister should issue a clarification regarding this issue as he was good friends with AP Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He said that K Chandrashekar Rao also invited the AP Chief Minister to the inauguration of the project but why was the government filing an affidavit on the project, he questioned. BJP party leader Sridhar Reddy and other leaders also attended the meeting.
