Talking to media persons at Legislative Council premises after submitting a memorandum to Governor E S L Narasimhan over the exodus of Assamese people from the city, Hanumantha Rao said that it was unfortunate to compare Jagan Mohan Reddy with Mahatma Gandhi. He said that YSR Congress party activists made a big mistake by doing this comparison. "Jagan has looted thousands of crores through corruption and by comparing him with Mahatma Gandhi, the YSR Congress party has insulted the Father of the Nation," he said.
Hanumantha Rao even suspected whether Jaganmohan Reddy could even recite the National Anthem.
Responding to resignation of Roads and Buildings Minister Dharmana Prasad Rao, he said that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has to take a decision on it. He said that he has appealed to the Governor to take all measures to prevent exodus of Assamese people from the State by providing proper security and instilling confidence among them. He said that that the Governor had assured him of looking into the issue.
