Hyderabad:  TPCC President Revanth Reddy alleged that Telangana has become slave in the hands of a group of Bihar origin IAS and IPS officers. Speaking to the media persons in a press conference he said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has his roots in Bihar and he appointed IAS and IPS officer of Bihar origin on key posts and entrusted each of them 6 to 8 departments to what he called loot the State.

While hundreds of people of Telangana laid down lives for separate state, local officials were totally ignored in appointments, he said. He alleged that KCR appointed Somesh Kumar to the post of Chief Secretary though the latter was not eligible for the top post. He said IPS officer Anjani Kumar was made DGP by sending the incumbent DGP on leave.

Noting IAS officials Rajat Kumar, Arvind Kumar, Jayesh Ranjan and Sandeep Kumar Sultania; are from Bihar were each holding charge of several key departments. How KCR found only these officials eligible among 157 IAS officers and 139 IPS officers in the state, he questioned.

Revanth Reddy alleged that Chief Minister KCR had colluded with what he called the Bihar gang for wrong doings. He claimed that Somesh Kumar was rewarded with the post of Chief Secretary for deleting 30 lakh voters from the list of voters when he was the Commissioner of GHMC. He also claimed that Dharani portal was together developed by the KCR and Somesh Kumar to allow irregularities in land administration so that those close to the TRS Government get thousands of acres of land. He blamed the flawed system for the killing of two realtors in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

He referred to Bihar Minister Sanjay Kumar Jha’s statement criticizing him for stating that KCR has roots in Bihar. This shows how deep are his roots in Bihar, he said. He claimed that KCR in an interview had revealed that his ancestors had come from Bihar. Reacting to reports that KCR has hired the services of political strategist Prashant Kishore, the Congress leader said this was another proof of Bihar gang conspiring to loot Telangana.
