Telangana Cong suspends former Union minister Satyanarayana
Hyderabad, Jan 6: The Congress Sunday suspended former Union minister Sarve Satyanarayana from the party for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief Uttam Kumar Reddy and its state in charge R C Khuntia.
He was suspended with immediate effect for an indefinite period, a senior party functionary Sunday said.
"He made objectionable remarks against Uttam Kumar Reddy and Khuntia in the party's Malkajgiri parliamentary constituency review meet. He also threw a water bottle on a general secretary. Satyanarayana used abusive language against some leaders in the meeting," Telangana PCC Disciplinary Committee chairman M Kodanda Reddy told PTI.
"He was suspended with immediate effect. We have not mentioned any suspension period," he said, adding there was no need to issue a notice prior to suspension as the incident at the meeting in Gandhi Bhavan, the party's state headquarters, had several witnesses.
Satyanarayana, however, claimed he was targeted by some leaders as he belonged to a Scheduled Caste.
He said he boycotted the party meeting as he was attacked by goons who were enjoying party posts.
Satyanarayana unsuccessfully contested from the Cantonment Assembly constituency in the recently held polls.
