The BJP has demanded a high-level judicial probe into the “phone tapping” by the erstwhile BRS government led by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, as “not only political figures but also senior officials and business persons’ phones were illegally eavesdropped”.
State party president and Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy has accused the KCR regime of making use of chosen favourite retired police officials to snoop into the personal lives of businesspersons and others for blackmailing and corruption.
“The police had became a mafia under the mafia rule of the BRS. Even our entire party office staff phones have been tapped. It warrants strict action against those responsible and no leniency should be shown when the constitutional and democratic rights of the people have been taken tampered upon,” he said.
