BRS working president KT Rama Rao hit out at the Telangana government, alleging that there has been a 'malicious campaign and political conspiracy' against the him and the party.
"BRS leaders are fighting without compromise, walking the path taught by KCR. They are being slapped with false cases for exposing Revanth's corruptions and failures, like the Civil Supplies scam and Musi scam," read a statement by KTR. "The false cases are a result of pointing out Revanth's corruption, illegal activities, and failure. For the past eleven months, there has been a chaotic administration in the state," the statement added. Saying that the party is not afraid of Revanth Reddy, the statement added, "Unable to confront us politically, they resort to conspiracies. We have braved challenges and have been in this struggle. We are not afraid of Revanth Reddy's plots." He further alleged that 'baseless news' has been spread on his name after Hyderabad Police raided the farmhouse of businessman Raj Pakala. "Raj Pakala built a house and had a housewarming ceremony with his family and friends. Some people are maliciously labeling this family gathering as a 'rave party.' Even though I wasn't there, they are spreading baseless news with my name," KTR's statement alleged. Notably, he also said that the case has been labelled a 'narcotics case' after getting orders "from above." "After testing many at the party, Raj Pakala's test came back negative, yet BJP and Congress leaders are spreading baseless rumors about him. How can they still file an NDPS case? They dug a mountain, claiming there were bombs, but not even a mouse was found," the statement read. Earlier today, The Cyberabad police along with the Special Operations Team (SOT) and excise officials conducted a raid at the farmhouse of businessman Raj Pakala in Janwada, on the outskirts of Hyderabad city and allegedly seized a large quantity of foreign liquor and drugs, an official release stated. 21 men and 14 women were present at the location. The officials also recovered seven bottles of foreign liquor, 10 loose Indian liquor bottles, and various gaming-related items. All the male individuals were subjected to drug tests. A man allegdly tested positive for cocaine, after which he was sent to the hospital for a blood test, the release stated. Subsequently, a case was registered under sections 25, 27 and 29 of the NDPS Act, and sections 3 and 4 of the Telangana Gaming Act in Mokila Police Station against Raj Pakala and the man who tested positive in the drug test.
