Andhra Politics - Congress ;TDP;PRP;TRS

This is yet another blatant and shameless move by the ruling party Congress. KVP Rama Chandra Rao, a close associate of Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy was made a ‘visiting Chairman’ of an important Department in the Secretariat.

KVP is a very close friend of the Chief Minister and has a very important role in the State governance, though he was never elected by the people for any position. Just because he is close association with the CM, he was given a post in the secretariat and an office right next to the CM’s chamber. For the first three years of Congress governance, he played an active role in the state governance.

Last year he expressed his wish to be elected for the Rajya Sabha and could easily get elected within months and you know why. It is because of his relations with the Chief Minister. However, at that time he had to leave his post in the secretariat as Indian law forbids the same person from having two official posts. Thus for the last one year, he could not participate in the Secretariat activities officially.

To avoid this problem, the government has resorted to a blatant move. It has created a department and made KVP its ‘visiting chairman’, thus making it again possible for KVP to indulge officially in the Government’s activities.  The post was created in such a way that it does not violate the above mentioned Indian law. Isn’t it abominable on the part of the Government to abuse law just for the sake of getting a person into the Government?
