Min to face action over daughter’s remark on CM
Hyderabad The Congress high command would take a call on taking disciplinary action against Telangana forests and endowments minister Konda Surekha, whose daughter Konda Sushmita Patel allegedly made derogatory and defamatory comments against chief minister A Revanth Reddy and the party, Pradesh Congress Committee B Mahesh Kumar Goud said on Monday
The Congress party's Pradesh Congress Committee has initiated a disciplinary inquiry against Konda Surekha, the Telangana forests and endowments minister, following derogatory and defamatory comments allegedly made by her daughter, Konda Sushmita Patel. Pradesh Congress Committee chief B Mahesh Kumar Goud announced that the party's disciplinary committee has submitted its report to the All-India Congress Committee regarding the matter.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy declined to comment on the issue, stating that the situation would be handled by the party's disciplinary committee and that speculation would not merit a response. Sushmita, during her mother's birthday celebrations, alleged that the Konda family had played a significant role in the chief minister's ascent to the TPCC president's post and criticized the Reddy government, accusing the chief minister of misusing power.
The PCC disciplinary committee demanded an explanation for her daughter's remarks and has sought a show-cause notice from Surekha, who subsequently accused the Congress party of orchestrating a conspiracy against her. She met AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge to present her side of the story, who advised her to issue an unconditional apology to the party and the chief minister.
