Former Telangana Deputy Commissioner of Police P Radha Kishan Rao, implicated in the phone-tapping case, has alleged in a confession statement that former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao attempted to leverage the alleged poaching case against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs to resolve a money laundering investigation involving his daughter, K Kavitha.
BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao asserted his resilience against the Congress government’s threats of imprisonment, declaring that he cannot be erased from Telangana’s history. He urged the people to grant more Lok Sabha seats to BRS, claiming its strength lies within Telangana. KCR denounced the Congress government for breaking promises and using derogatory language against him.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has reiterated his promise to waive farmer loans up to Rs 2 lakh by August 15. He made the announcement while addressing a meeting in his Kodangal assembly constituency, stating that even if former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao were to “die by hanging in his farm house,” he would fulfill his commitment. Reddy’s comments came as Rao, the chief of Bharat Rashtra Samithi, is set to begin his Lok Sabha campaign. Rao has been touring drought-hit districts, promising farmers that they were better off under his leadership when there was no water shortage. Reddy’s loan waiver promise was first made two days ago in Bhongir. BRS leader T Harish Rao, the nephew of Rao, had challenged Reddy to resign if he failed to deliver on his promise. Reddy responded by asking if KCR would disband his party if he kept his word.
At a nomination event for BRS candidate Maloth Kavitha, MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra criticized the Congress regime, highlighting its unfulfilled promises and loss of public trust. He praised the BRS government under K. Chandrasekhar Rao for initiatives like Rythu Bandhu, reliable power supply, and irrigation projects. Ravichandra urged voters to support Kavitha to secure the Mahabubabad Lok Sabha seat again. Kavitha emphasized the BRS’s role in Telangana’s development and appealed for reelection, citing past accomplishments. Former Minister Satyavathi Rathod, ex-MLAs, Zilla Parishad chairpersons, and other party members attended the event.
Telangana is gearing up for the 2024 General Elections, and several key political figures are making their presence felt. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy will address public meetings in Kodangal and Nagarkurnool, while External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will deliver a talk in Bhongir. BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao will embark on a 17-day bus tour across the state, aiming to connect with various societal groups. Congress leader Velichela Rajendra Rao has filed his nomination for the Karimnagar Lok Sabha seat, and the Khammam seat issue will be discussed in Bengaluru between Telangana and Karnataka officials. BJP Legislative Party leader Alleti Maheshwar Reddy is scheduled to address the media today.
