Telangana police have filed a case against BRS working president K T Rama Rao for accusing Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of sending Rs 2,500 crore to the Congress high command for Lok Sabha elections. A Congress leader filed a complaint, leading to a First Information Report (FIR) being registered at Hanamkonda Police Station and later transferred to Banjara Hills police station in Hyderabad.
The complaint was lodged by Congress leader Srinivas Rao with Hanamkonda Police Station. KTR was charged under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 504 for intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace and section 505 for statements conducing public mischief.
During a meeting with BRS leaders, Rama Rao claimed that Revanth Reddy has been extorting money from business people in the State and sending it to the Delhi high command. KTR alleged that Revanth Reddy had already sent Rs 2,500 crore to Delhi for the upcoming parliamentary polls. To collect such large amounts, Revanth Reddy allegedly delayed granting permissions for buildings and layouts over the past three months, pressuring real estate stakeholders for funds under the threat of denial of approvals, according to KTR.
