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.
“This will be a litmus test for the BJP leadership in Delhi…” the BRS working president wrote in his complaint to Union Minister for Urban Development Manoharlal Khattar.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday demanded the withdrawal of a defamation notice served on him by BRS working president KT Rama Rao, along with a public apology from the latter
Accusing Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar of vendetta politics and misuse of his position as a minister, BRS working president KT Rama Rao sent a defamation notice against him with a demand for an unconditional apology within seven days.
Rao has also accused a minister in the state Cabinet of meeting Gautam Adani in Hyderabad to usurp 84 acres of government land in Raidurgam.
In his letter, a copy of which was also sent to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, KT Rama Rao wrote, “The farmers of our state feel cheated and abandoned.”
Taking to social media platform X, Rao expressed his apprehension in a lengthy post. He said, “The alarming decline in Telangana’s IT exports is a matter of serious concern. Even more concerning is the fact that new IT jobs have fallen to one-third of the 2022-23 numbers.”
Rao pointed out that the Congress had criticised former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao over his decision to skip NITI Aayog’s meetings during his own tenure.
He wondered why the Congress was celebrating even when a large number of eligible beneficiaries were worried and uncertain whether their loans will be waived under the state government’s scheme.
A war of words began between the political parties over the defection of BRS MLAs to Congress, with the AIMIM and BJP also jumping into the fray.
