BRS ridicules Congress complaint with EC on ‘clearing bills’

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has ridiculed the complaint lodged by the Congress party with the Election Commission that the BRS government is clearing bills worth ₹6,000 crore to get commission from contractors forgetting the fact that the administration is controlled by the poll body as long as the model code is in force.

“TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy many not have knowledge about the protocols but how can N. Uttam Kumar Reddy having all the experience sign the complaint. Is it not insulting both the EC and State government officials. The bureaucracy of any administration is under the control of EC as long as the model code is in force,” senior leader of BRS Dasoju Sravan said here on Saturday.

He also criticised the Congress for alleging that BRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao was in touch with the Congress candidates. “Does it mean that Congress party, particularly Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar who appears to be manging the party affairs in Telangana, is accepting that BRS will emerge as the single largest party even after publicising the paid exit polls,” Mr. Sravan asked.
