In his first tenure as Telangana Chief Minister, K Chandrasekhar Rao has made then deputy CM T Rajaiah, a dalit leader, as a scapegoat for 'corruption' in medical and health department, the portfolio allocated to Rajaiah.
In his second term as CM, KCR appears to make another dalit leader Kadiam Srihari a scapegoat in Inter results goof-up issue.
Interestingly, both these dalit leaders hail from Warangal district.
KCR axed Rajaiah from his cabinet without citing any reason within six months of coming to power in January 2015.
But KCR gave leaks to media that he was sacked because he indulged in corruption while discharging duties as deputy CM.
Now, KCR seems to be preparing ground to hold Kadiam Srihari responsible for Inter results mess up apparently to divert the attention of people and media from levelling accusations on his son KTR for having 'close links' with Globarena, the firm which goofed up inter results leading to suicides by over 20 students.
Globarena got Inter Board results contract when KTR was IT minister.
KTR and his staunch supporter MLA Balka Suman, who is also a dalit leader, started giving statements that KTR has no role in handing over contract to Globarena as IT minister since Inter board issues are handled by education department, which was held by Kadiam Srihari as deputy CM in KCR's cabinet then.
They are stating that it's the decision of Kadiam to handover the contract to Globarena and KTR had no role in this.
One wonders whether is it possible for anyone in TRS government to award contracts to anyone without the knowledge and approval of KCR or KTR.
Everyone knows that all ministers in KCR's cabinet are just 'dummies' and even to purchase pins and plain papers in their office, they need to take approval from KCR and they should purchase them only from those people or firms which KCR and KTR suggest.
Poor Kadiam is no more the minister now. He is just an MLC and leading a calm life in Warangal.
But now KTR and Balka Suman have dragged Kadiam into Inter results scam.
Seems, KCR has set the stage for making Kadiam a scapegoat in Inter results fiasco to protect his son KTR.
Shockingly, only dalit leaders are being made to pay the price for any mess up in the decisions taken by TRS government.
