Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy claimed that Minister for Municipal Administration K. T. Rama Rao was desperate to meet Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi to seek his intervention to dilute the IT raids on the businesses allegedly linked to the family members of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
Speaking after admitting leaders and workers of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the BJP from the Maheshwaram constituency here on Sunday, he said Mr. Rama Rao had realised that the BRS was bound to lose in the forthcoming Assembly elections and was trying to please the Central government to save their companies. The IT department had unearthed huge illegal assets of Mr. Rama Rao and the companies where his family has interests, he alleged.
Mr. Reddy questioned the Central government as to why there was not even a single case of investigation on Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao’s illegal assets, which are to the tune of more than one lakh crores. “When AAP leaders from Delhi were put in jail in a case related to a couple of hundreds of crores why is the BJP silent on KCR’s assets,” he asked. “The BJP and BRS have a ‘Fevicol bond’ and it will not break,” he alleged.
