KCR Family Rift Is About Asset Sharing, Not Politics: Minister Vivek Venkatswamy
Mancherial / Kyathanpalli:
State Minister for Labour, Employment and Mines & Geology, Dr. Gaddam Vivek Venkatswamy, on Monday said that what is unfolding within the KCR family is not a political conflict, but merely a dispute over the division of assets accumulated by looting the state.
As part of the municipal election campaign in Kyathanpalli Municipality, the Minister conducted door-to-door campaigning in Wards 6, 7, 8 and 10. During the outreach, he explained the welfare schemes being implemented by the Congress government and appealed to voters to elect Congress candidates to ensure the comprehensive development of municipal wards.
Addressing the public, Dr. Vivek Venkatswamy said, “I meet people every day during my morning walks, understand their problems, and work responsibly to resolve them immediately. When Balka Suman was an MLA, he never once toured the wards or made any effort to understand the issues faced by the people.”
He alleged that Balka Suman, projecting himself as KCR’s ‘younger son’, had completely neglected the Chennur constituency. “He spent most of his time at KCR’s residence. Instead of focusing on public concerns, they promoted illegal land dealings and the sand mafia, amassing thousands of crores of rupees. Roads and drainage works were undertaken only where commissions were involved,” the Minister charged.
Dr. Vivek Venkatswamy stated that during his tenure as MLA, he focused exclusively on strengthening basic infrastructure. He recalled that 3,500 Indiramma houses were sanctioned in the Chennur constituency and criticised the previous BRS government for failing to allot even a single Double Bedroom house to any poor family.
Reacting to the developments within the KCR family, the Minister remarked, “This is not a political dispute. There is an asset-sharing feud between Kavitha, Harish Rao and KTR. It is a quarrel among siblings over their shares in the wealth accumulated by looting the state. Under the pretext of women’s quota, a share in the assets is being demanded.”
He further stated that despite not being elected as an MLA, development works worth ₹2.50 crore were undertaken in Amaravadi village, and that several service-oriented programmes are being implemented through the Visakha Trust. He reaffirmed that the Kaka family has always remained committed to public service.
Assuring the public, the Minister said that pensions would be distributed to all eligible beneficiaries starting next month. He urged voters to elect Congress candidates with a massive majority to ensure the overall development of Kyathanpalli Municipality.
Senior Congress leaders, party workers and local residents participated in the programme in large numbers.
