Hyderabad, May 23 (NationPress) K. T. Rama Rao, the working president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), asserted on Friday that Telangana has transformed into an ATM for Congress, a claim supported by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which has included Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in the chargesheet related to the National Herald case.
Reacting to the news on 'X', the former minister highlighted that Revanth Reddy's inclusion in the ED chargesheet signifies serious allegations. The ED has reportedly identified him as one of the individuals who purportedly solicited funds for Young Indian (YI) and Associated Journals Limited (AJL). Although not officially accused, the Central agency claims that CM Reddy acted under the directives of senior Congress officials.
The ED has noted Revanth Reddy's name in conjunction with the late Ahmed Patel and Pawan Bansal concerning donation-related inquiries.
Allegations suggest that various Congress leaders, including Revanth Reddy, coerced individuals into contributing to YI and AJL from 2019 to 2022, implying that refusal could jeopardize their political futures.
"Telangana has turned into an ATM for Scamgress, and this has now been validated by agencies as the ED charges Telangana's 'Bag Man' in the National Herald case. He is attempting to divert public attention from his corrupt activities," Rama Rao stated.
"The pivotal question is whether the NDA Government will take action this time or absolve Revanth Reddy as they did in the Amrut Scam, RR Tax, and Civil Supplies Scam," he remarked.
KTR claimed that the CM's alleged corruption network was unveiled with the ED's chargesheet, which suggests that Revanth Reddy enticed people with positions to contribute to the Young India organization.
Rama Rao highlighted that payments amounting to hundreds of crores to Congress leaders by Revanth Reddy, even prior to his ascension as Chief Minister, have been revealed.
He noted that Revanth Reddy's "corruption scandal" initiated with hundreds of crores and escalated to thousands of crores within the past year and a half since he became Chief Minister.
KTR questioned whether the ED would merely mention Revanth Reddy in the chargesheet or summon him for questioning to fully uncover the corruption scandal.
