BRS working president KT Rama Rao came down heavily on the Congress government over the notice issued by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in the alleged phone-tapping case. Condemning the action, he termed it an act of political revenge rather than a genuine investigation.
Reacting to the SIT notices, Rama Rao said
Chandrashekhar Rao was the leader who spearheaded the Telangana Statehood movement and even risked his life to achieve Statehood.
He recalled that the visionary leader steered the State’s development for a decade after State formation by ensuring development and welfare of all citizens through novel initiatives like Rythu Bandhu, Mission Bhagiratha, Mission Kakatiya and numerous irrigation projects
