KTR challenges CM Revanth over family assets, governance

BRS working president KT Rama Rao challenged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to order a judicial probe into the assets accumulated by their respective families since the birth of BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao and the Chief Minister. He said he was ready to face any punishment if any wrongdoing was proved.

He said both sides should place details of their assets before a sitting Supreme Court or High Court judge for a comprehensive inquiry. He also asked Revanth Reddy to explain how his brothers had allegedly amassed Rs 1,000 crore, challenging the Chief Minister to write to the Supreme Court seeking such an inquiry.

Bhavan on Thursday, Rama Rao strongly countered the Chief Minister’s remarks during his recent visit to Sircilla.

He also took a dig at Revanth Reddy’s remarks about his hotel business, saying he had started a hotel in 2006 with money earned during his six-year stint in the US. The business had since grown to three hotels, he said, adding that he could have expanded it to 10 hotels had he not entered politics.

Rama Rao pointed out that details of his business and assets had already been disclosed in his election affidavits and said the Chief Minister had found nothing illegal. “Revanth Reddy has given free publicity to my hotels,” Rama Rao said, thanking the Chief Minister for drawing attention to his business.
