Formula E case: Got nothing to be ashamed of after 8-hour questioning, says KTR

After being questioned for eight hours about the Formula E race funding irregularities, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) said that he has nothing to be ashamed of. He claimed the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) inquiry into the case was a politically motivated move by the Congress government.

Addressing the media at Telangana Bhavan after appearing before the Anti-Corruption Bureau, KTR said, “I’ve done no wrong. I’ve only elevated Telangana’s stature.”

Hitting out at Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, KTR said the decision to host the Formula E race in Hyderabad for the second consecutive year



was a policy move by the then BRS government. He said the funds released to the event organiser were part of that decision and were explained to ACB officials.

“There is not a single paisa of corruption involved,” he said, accusing the government of “dragging the ACB into a baseless case.”

KTR challenged Revanth to an open debate in the Assembly before “four crore people,” saying the Chief Minister backed out when questioned on the race. “He has a sadistic obsession with sending BRS leaders to jail,” KTR alleged, recalling that Revanth himself was caught “with a bag full of Rs 50 lakh” and spent a month in jail.
