BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao, who is under attack over phone tapping of politicians during the BRS regime, has offered to undergo a polygraph test and challenged the same to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy.
Throwing down the challenge during a debate on a vernacular news channel, Mr. Rama Rao said, “Phone tapping of unsocial elements and extremists by police is normal in any government. However, if it is misused by police officials, they should be punished.”
Mr. Rama Rao alleged that Mr. Revanth Reddy was tapping the phones of his ministerial colleagues Bhatti Vikramarka, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and Uttam Kumar Reddy. “Let Mr. Revanth Reddy take the lie detector test to prove that phones of his ministerial colleagues were not being tapped by him. Let Mr. Kishan Reddy also take the test saying that the Centre was not tapping the phones of its political rivals,” he said.
