KTR Slams Govt Over Formula-E Case

After the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) filed a charge sheet in the Formula-E case, KT Rama Rao, working president of BRS, accused the Congress government of engaging in diversionary politics and misleading the public. He alleged that the revival of the case was a deliberate attempt to divert attention from BRS' demand for legal status for six guarantees through a private member's bill.

KTR expressed confidence that the case would not stand in court and accused the government of targeting him as part of a political vendetta, including harassment of officials. He emphasized faith in the judiciary, stating that justice would prevail. KTR dismissed the Formula-E case as baseless and lacking substance, noting that the government admitted in its charge sheet that there was no wrongdoing involving the transferred funds. He criticized the government for exaggerating facts and misleading the public, particularly regarding the amount transferred.

KTR also questioned the absence of named beneficiaries and suggested that the government could retrieve the funds if necessary, as they remain secure in the organization's account. Defending the Formula-E race, KTR highlighted its role in enhancing Hyderabad's global reputation and attracting investments in the electric vehicle sector. He further addressed the TDR 'scam,' labeling it as a significant scandal and vowing a comprehensive investigation once his government returns to power. KTR promised consequences for all involved in the alleged TDR misconduct. He urged the public to remain vigilant and assured accountability in the matter.
