Hyderabad : BRS MLC Kavitha responded sharply to Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s recent remarks on the acquisition of 22 Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles by the previous BRS government. Dismissing Reddy’s claims that the purchase was made “without anybody’s knowledge,” Kavitha emphasized that security arrangements for Chief Ministers and VIPs are solely managed by the police and security agencies, with politicians having no role in such matters.
Addressing reporters in Warangal, Kavitha stated, “The protocol of any CM is decided by the security wing, Intelligence, and the police. There is no role of politicians in that. It was decided like that, and it was unfortunate that the current CM (Revanth Reddy) thinks otherwise.”
Revanth Reddy had recently claimed in a press conference that officials informed him about the purchase of 22 Land Cruiser vehicles by the previous government, intending to use them once K Chandrasekhar Rao-led government returned to power after the Assembly polls.
Kavitha further highlighted that over the past decade, political leaders did not dictate the type of security coverage provided by the police. Expressing dissatisfaction with Revanth Reddy making the issue public, she stated, “It is not fair for the Chief Minister to make an issue out of it and belittle it.”
In a separate demand, the BRS leader urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to grant national festival status to the Sammakka Saaramma Jatra, a tribal festival, likening it to a South Indian Kumbh Mela. She disclosed that multiple representations had been made to PM Modi on this matter.
