ORR lease issue: Revanth Reddy sees red over legal notice served on him

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy has warned that civil and criminal proceedings will be taken against IAS officer Arvind Kumar if he does not withdraw the legal notices served on him on May 25 in the matter related to Outer Ring Road (ORR) lease.

On Tuesday, Mr. Revanth Reddy, through his advocate, replied to the legal notice sent by Mr. Arvind Kumar regarding the ORR lease issue.

“Mr. Arvind Kumar is Principal Secretary of Municipal Department, Metropolitan Commissioner and having other important responsibilities. There are service rules about how IAS officers should act and perform their responsibilities. But Arvind Kumar is acting as a politician without following those rules and not giving the information asked for,” said Mr. Revanth Reddy, adding that according to All India Services (Conduct) Rules 1968, an IAS officer should act neutrally without political motives.
