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.
While the BRS is banking on the sympathy factor, Congress, which did not win a single seat in the last Assembly elections in Hyderabad and its adjoining areas, is hoping to open its account within this bypoll.
As another BRS MLA defected to the Congress in Telangana, KT Rama Rao, working president of the regional party
Addressing a press conference on Friday, Harish Rao alleged that it was not new for BJP to coerce the Opposition parties with false cases.
The former MLA from Wardhannapet then went to meet the BRS supremo at his Banjara Hills supremo. Grilled at the entrance of KCR’s residence by media persons, he mumbled he was with the BRS.
A visual of CM Revanth Reddy came in handy for the Opposition party in which he is sitting on stools with upper caste ministers while state Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu and another minister Konda Surekha are seated at a lower level at Yadadri temple.
