BRS objects to Revanth Reddy giving contracts worth Rs.1500 crore to Nellore-based firm
BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank alleged that the Congress government gave contracts worth Rs 1500 crore to KLSR Infratech despite a petition against the company being admitted in the Supreme Court. He also claimed the firm had gifted a vehicle to Revanth Reddy earlier
Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi raised objections over the Congress government offering contracts worth crores to Nellore-based KLSR Infratech Limited, alleging that petitions were filed against the company in the Supreme Court.
BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank, addressing a press conference here on Monday, said the company had earlier offered a Land Cruiser car as a gift to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy when he was the PCC president, and that the vehicle was later registered in the name of Revanth Reddy’s brother A Kondal Reddy.
“In return, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy handed over contracts worth Rs 1500 crore to KLSR Infratech Limited. The Young India Integrated Schools construction contract was also offered to the company,” he alleged, adding that when an RTI application was filed seeking details of the company, officials responded that no cases were registered against KLSR Infratech Limited from 2014 to 2025. However, a petition against the same company was admitted for hearing in the Supreme Court two days ago, Krishank said.
“There are different allegations, including financial instability and bankruptcy, against KLSR Infratech. Despite these charges, why is Revanth Reddy giving contracts to the company,” he asked.
Recalling that the Enforcement Directorate had earlier stated that KLSR was a benami company of Revanth Reddy, Krishank questioned the agency’s silence now and pointed out that a judge had recused himself from hearing a case due to alleged pressure on him to act in favour of the company. An investigation was underway based on the judge’s allegations.
Krishank also took strong exception to the Chief Minister’s remarks at a programme in Ramoji Film City on Sunday, saying Revanth Reddy had spoken disparagingly about the awards presented at Ravindra Bharathi.
“Revanth Reddy should apologise for his comments made at Ramoji Film City,” Krishank demanded.
