It has not even two days since Telangana Rashtra Samithi corporator Gadwal Vijayalakshmi, daughter of TRS parliamentary party leader K Kesava Rao, was elected as the Mayor of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.
On the third day itself, Vijayalakshmi showed how powerful she is. She took revenge on Shaikpet tehsildar Srinivas Reddy by getting him transferred from the post, for filing a police case against her in the past.
Shaikpet tehsildar post is the most sought-after post in the city. Srinivas Reddy was shifted from there and asked to report to the Chief Commissioner of Land Revenue office.
When she was the corporator of Banjara Hills in the earlier term, Vijayalakshmi brought pressure on Srinivas Reddy to give caste and income certificates to her followers according to the orders. When he refused to entertain her demand, she abused him in foul language and shouted in front of everybody.
As a result, Srinivas Reddy lodged a complaint with the Banjara Hills police against Vijayalakshmi, saying that she had abused her and obstructed his official duties. The police booked a case against her and it is still pending.
However, soon after she became Mayor on Thursday, the first thing Vijayalakshmi did was to get Srinivas Reddy transferred from the plum position. She reportedly told the officials that it was just a beginning and she would show her real power in the coming days.
That is the power of position!
