New Delhi: BRS Working President Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) held a press conference at the BRS Party office in New Delhi, accusing the Telangana Congress government of deep-rooted corruption. KTR claimed that despite multiple allegations, the central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has failed to act against Congress-led corruption in Telangana.
KTR raised questions about a contract worth Rs. 1,137 crore awarded to Shoda Constructions, a company owned by Srujan Reddy, the brother-in-law of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He highlighted that Shoda Constructions, with a net profit of just Rs. 2.2 crore, is an obscure entity, suggesting irregularities and accusing the Chief Minister of violating “office of profit” regulations.
In a significant move, a BRS delegation led by KTR met with Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, submitting alleged evidence of corruption and urging the central government to take action against Revanth Reddy and the Congress administration.
KTR further criticized the BJP’s sincerity in tackling corruption, labeling this issue as a “litmus test” for the party’s commitment. He warned that if the central government fails to address the alleged corruption in Amrit tenders during the upcoming parliamentary session, the BRS will escalate the issue in Parliament, particularly in the Rajya Sabha.
KTR also directed his criticism at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, alleging that Gandhi has been deceiving the people of Maharashtra with unfulfilled promises. He claimed that funds from Telangana, amounting to Rs. 300 crore, are being misused to spread misleading information in Maharashtra.
Additionally, KTR accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of improperly acquiring land in Kodangal for a pharma company owned by his son-in-law, raising concerns about land rights and transparency in Telangana’s development projects.
The BRS leader’s pointed allegations have raised the stakes for both the Congress and the BJP, who now face increased pressure to address these corruption claims ahead of the next parliamentary session.
