Just retired director general of police Dinesh Reddy on Tuesday put chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy in the dock and launched a scathing attack on the latter for his anti-T moves.The former cop said that Kiran had pressured him to issue a public statement that the creation of T would lead to intensification of Maoist activities. This is with a view to aborting a decision in favor of a separate state by raising fears.Dinesh also charged that the chief minister had reprimanded him for seeking additional central forces for containing expected trouble in Seemandhra in the run up to the Congress Working Committees T resolution at the end of July.
During one of our visits to Delhi just before the CWC passed the T resolution,the media asked me about the possibility of increased Maoist activity in case Telangana was created.I responded by saying that this was a hypothetical question.The media interpreted my statement to say that Maoist activities would not increase if the state is divided.The CM questioned me and directed me to issue a statement saying that Maoist activities would intensify if Telangana is created.But I refused, Dinesh Reddy said.
The former DGP who was hopeful of an extension but did not get it - claimed that the state police wanted to deny permission for the huge public meeting convened by the striking Seemandhra employees at LB Stadium in Hyderabad on September 7,but alleged that Kiran Kumar pressured him to give permission.Though law and order was maintained during the event,the meeting had the potential of disrupting peace.When Seemandhra advocates sought permission to hold a public meeting at Gachibowli in Cyberabad,we refused, Dinesh said.But the CM was angry with me for denying permission for the meeting which was refused because it was bang in the middle of the IT corridor.But the advocates asked how could I stop them from holding the meeting when the CM had already given the green signal, Dinesh Reddy said.
Citing yet another example,Dinesh Reddy said after discussions with the Intelligence Bureau director and Union home secretary before July 30,it was decided to deploy 40 companies of paramilitary forces in the Seemandhra region.However,Kiran Kumar was unhappy and asked me on whose instructions I had deployed central forces in the state.I responded by saying that this was done as a decision in favor of Telangana might be announced.Then the CM pulled me up by saying Does a bureaucrat know or a politician know about what is best for the state

CMs brother asked me to settle land deals,says Dinesh
Hyderabad: The former DGP charged that CMs brother Santosh Kumar Reddy meddled in the administration and alleged that the latter had approached him on several occasions to intervene in land deals and settle them in his (Santoshs ) favour.But I refused to entertain his request, Dinesh claimed.In a veiled reference to the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case and IG intelligence N Balasubramanyam (who has been charged with murder by the CBI in the case),the former DGP said he had written to the CM seeking permission to shift such an officer from the sensitive posting he was holding.However,after sitting on my request for two months,Kiran Kumar returned the file endorsing continuation of the said officer in the same post.How can the chief minister continue an officer charge-sheeted for murder in a sensitive posting'' Dinesh Reddy asked.
Asked whether he may join the YSR Congress,the former DGP said he has absolutely no intention of joining any political party and that he is not in the fray for the 2014 general election. Incidentally,Dinesh Reddy was once the favorite police officer of Kiran and the chief minister had appointed him as the top cop by superseding many others.The relations between the two were fine till the beginning of 2013 after which it started souring.It became worse from July in the run up to the T decision.
