New Delhi (Journalist File): Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced that action will be initiated against BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) in connection with the E-Race scam as soon as the Governor’s approval is secured. Speaking to the media during his visit to Delhi, the Chief Minister alleged that KTR was in the capital to lobby and delay the Governor’s sanction to avoid legal proceedings against him.
The Chief Minister further claimed that KTR’s visit to Delhi exposed a secret nexus between the BJP and BRS. He questioned how KTR, who had previously declared his intent to "finish" the BJP, was now meeting with its leaders. Dismissing allegations made by the BRS concerning AMRUT project tenders, Revanth Reddy clarified that merely sharing a surname does not imply familial ties. He explained that Srujan Reddy, accused of benefiting from large contracts during the BRS regime, is the son-in-law of former BRS MLA Upender Reddy.
CM Revanth Reddy reiterated that there were no irregularities in the AMRUT tenders, as claimed by Upender Reddy himself, and challenged critics to pursue legal action if they believed otherwise. He asserted that KTR’s visit to Delhi was an attempt to shield himself from potential action in the E-Race scam, which would commence once the Governor’s consent is granted.
Addressing another issue, the Chief Minister strongly condemned the recent assault on the Vikarabad district collector, stating that those responsible, regardless of their influence, would be held accountable. He criticized the BRS for its silence on the incident and questioned its leaders for supporting the perpetrators.
Revanth Reddy also took a jab at the BRS, questioning whether its appeal to vote against Congress in Maharashtra was effectively an endorsement of the BJP. The Chief Minister, who is scheduled to stay in Delhi overnight, will proceed to Maharashtra tomorrow to campaign in Telugu-speaking regions on behalf of his party.
