TPCC chief warns of action over Rajagopal Reddy's remarks
Some grown-ups in a political group called the Congress party had a disagreement.
One member, Mr. Rajagopal Reddy, said things in public that the party leaders did not like.
The leader of the party in Telangana, Mr. Mahesh Kumar Goud, said the party will not allow members to break its rules.
He said even very important people, like the Chief Minister, must follow the same rules.
He said the party would talk to its national leaders about what to do next.
Mr. Goud said it is okay for members to feel upset, but they should not complain about the party in public.
He also talked about the state's money problems and said a previous government caused a lot of debt.
He said future appointments will be based on how good people are at their jobs.
He believes the party and the government should keep working together.
TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud warned that the Congress leadership will not tolerate any violation of party discipline.
The warning follows public remarks made by Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy against the party and government leadership.
Goud said the matter will be brought to AICC in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan and that no leader, including the Chief Minister, is exempt from disciplinary action.
He acknowledged the party may have given assurances to Rajagopal Reddy during elections, but said no leader has the right to speak publicly against the party.
Goud blamed the previous BRS government under K. Chandrashekar Rao for the state's debt burden and accused BRS of spreading malicious propaganda against Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka.
