Stop diversion politics, KTR tells Revanth after KCR’s SIT questioning

BRS working president KT Rama Rao asked the Congress government to stop diversion politics and start focusing on delivering its electoral promises.

Calling the questioning of BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the alleged phone-tapping case an attempt to divert people’s attention from the government’s failure, he said this was to disrupt the BRS’s attention from the ongoing municipal elections.

“The two-year Congress rule in Telangana can be summed up in three words – ‘diversion, subversion and perversion.’ The Congress government is using the SIT probe to mask its failures, divert people’s attention from unfulfilled promises and rising public dissatisfaction, ahead of municipal elections,” he said.

Addressing the media along with senior party leaders at Nandi Nagar on Sunday night, Rama Rao contended that the SIT did not follow due legal procedure,



citing provisions under the BNSS, where senior citizens must be questioned at their residence. However, Chandrashekhar Rao cooperated fully with the officials out of respect for the Constitution and the rule of law.

“He could have abstained from questioning and approached the courts for rejecting his request. But he had voluntarily appeared and answered all questions from the SIT,” he added, hoping that after this examination, the SIT authorities would have come to a conclusion that there was no wrongdoing during the BRS regime.

The BRS working president said the Congress government was fuelling rumours and encouraging selective leaks over the past two years to malign Chandrashekhar Rao and the previous BRS government.

Urging restraint, he appealed to the media not to rely on unofficial briefings. “If there is evidence, let it come through official channels,” he said, arguing that unverified leaks reflected the weakness of the case.
