Sangareddy: Taking serious note of the comments made by TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao on the Chief Minister and Satyasai Baba of Puttaparthi, Medak Congress leaders have asked him to mind his language.

Addressing a joint press conference here on Tuesday, Minister for Tourism J. Geetha Reddy said that the kind of language was against the tradition of Telangana, and asked TRS leaders to tender unconditional apology to the Chief Minister and the Baba.

A soft target

Enlisting the drinking water projects undertaken by Satya Sai Trust in different parts of Telangana including Medak, Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda, Dr. Geetha Reddy said that she was shocked to hear that senior politicians of the stature of Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao and A. Narendra were wilfully misguiding students and encouraging them to attack prayer halls like Sivam in Hyderabad. She warned the TRS leaders that inciting students for political gains could result in violence. She said that the TRS had chosen the Baba as he was a soft target and could not retaliate. She wanted to know as to how the TRS cadres never attacked the TDP, which was a known pro-unification party.

Medak legislator P. Sasidhar Reddy, who has been on a trip to a few IITs in the country, particularly Delhi and Roorkie campuses at the behest of the DCC, said that he would submit his report to the Chief Minister. Mr. Sasidhar Reddy said that he had realised that IITs, unlike any engineering colleges, could not survive in isolation but needed modern amenities for survival. He said that IITs attracted international faculty that required fast air connectivity.
