In a huge relief to the dissident BRS MLAs ,the Telangana High Court has set aside an order of a single-judge bench which had directed the Speaker to announce within four weeks a schedule to decide on the disqualification petition against three MLAs who had joined the Congress.
However, the BRS soon released a hand-written letter from the arrested former MLA addressed to the court in which he said the remand report was cooked up by the police and denied that he had given any such confession.
A day after the attack on district officials including the collector in Vikarabad district of Telangana, police have taken into custody around 55 people while a BRS youth wing leader was on the run for allegedly instigating the “pre-planned attack”.
Criticising the Congress for taking a hypocritical stand over Adani Group BRS working president KT Rama Rao today alleged that the Rs 100 crore worth donation from industrialist Gautam Adani towards setting up a skill university in Telangana, was actually a pay-off ahead of the public hearing for the Ambuja Cement plant coming up at Nalgonda.
Rao posted a photograph of Gautam Adani’s recent meeting with Reddy when he donated Ra 100 crore to Young India Skills University through Adani Foundation. His son Karan Adani was also present on the occasion.
The controversy surrounding the installation of Rajiv Gandhi’s statue further escalated on Tuesday as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy severely criticised the BRS and vowed to install the statue of the former Prime Minister at the designated spot, opposite the state Secretariat. He also assured that the statue of Telangana Talli would be installed inside the state Secretariat.
Slamming the Congress government for the “alarming display of lawlessness,” Rao alleged that the police stood mutely as a group of men entered the premises and tore the banners.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, on Friday, predicted that the BRS would soon merge with the BJP and party chief K Chandrasekhar Rao will be appointed a governor, his son and former industry minister KT Rama Rao will be inducted in the Union Cabinet.
The collapse of a wall has prompted another blame game between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS.
The Congress government in Telangana was found scrambling to explain a Rs1000 crore deal with a company Swachh Bio which was set up just two weeks ago and apparently owned by chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s brother Jagadeeshwar Reddy.
