Andhra Pradesh Deputy Speaker and MLA Raghurama Krishnam Raju speaks his mind without any hesitation whenever he faces the media. He is very outspoken and never minces his words which is why he was opted to chair the assembly of Andhra Pradesh as a deputy to the speaker. His candidness came to the fore during the ongoing 24th TANA conference in Michigan, USA.
The former rebel MP from YSR Congress party, who became a popular figure in the political spectrum after rising a banner of revolt against former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, was invited to TANA as one of the chief guests this year. During a funny interaction with the anchor, RRR expressed his desire to helm the Home Ministry of Andhra Pradesh at least for a day if he had the opportunity.
When notable journalist Murthy of TV5 asked RRR on which ministry would he choose to lead if he was given a chance, the Undi MLA immediately replied he would like be given charge as Home Minister for six hours and the remaining two hours as Health Minister. When questioned whether he would implement ‘Red Book’ rule as a Home Minister, RRR promptly replied he doesn’t have Red Book but posses ‘Blood Book’. This comment received a big cheer from the crowd.
RRR added that he still remembers his blood scars and the atrocities committed by them – subtly hinting about the brutal custodial torture of the previous government against him and how he wants to payback in the same coin on who were behind it if he takes charge as Home Minister. RRR’s interesting remarks have been going viral on social media now.
