In case the Congress and BJP leaders fail to withdraw their statements and tender an apology, the defamation prosecution for claiming damages to the tune of Rs.100 crore under IPC 499 and 500 sections would be initiated, the Minister’s counsel said in the notice.

“Bandi Sanjay and Revanth Reddy are deliberately making baseless allegations to harm my reputation. Just because of being elected public representatives, one has no right to cast false allegations against any individual,” Rama Rao said.
