KTR dares CM Revanth Reddy for polygraph test over ACB cases
KTR criticised Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, accusing him of using ACB investigations to divert attention from governance failures. He challenged the CM to a live polygraph test and questioned the lack of progress in the Vote-for-Note case
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao rebuked Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for running the government through deception and diversion under the garb of investigations, to cover up his incompetence in delivering the promises to the people of Telangana. Calling Revanth Reddy a “joker CM”, he dared him for a polygraph test in connection with the ACB cases filed against them respectively.
Rama Rao who was summoned for questioning in the Formula-E race case, said he will appear before the ACB authorities at their office at 10 AM on Monday and extend his full cooperation in completing the investigation. He stated that the Congress government was resorting to repeated allegations and cases to suppress the voice of the opposition.
“This joker Chief Minister is ordering a new inquiry every day to shift focus from his governance failures. No matter how many notices he sends, this bankrupt Congress government cannot stop us from being the voice of the people of Telangana,” he warned.
The BRS working president criticised the ACB notices issued to him over the Formula-E race case, pointed out that the Rs 44 crore transferred by HMDA to the Formula-E organisers, was still in the latter’s bank account. He said the Congress was unable to get the amount refunded into the government’s account and hence, targeting the BRS. “Our money is still with them, but Revanth Reddy is unable to recover a rupee,” he charged.
However, Rama Rao questioned lack of progress in the long-pending “Vote-for-Note” case, also being investigated by the ACB, where Revanth reddy was caught red-handed while attempting to bribe an MLA. He stated that while he was ready to undergo a polygraph test in the Formula-E race case, he challenged Revanth Reddy to undergo similar test in the “Vote-for-Note” test before the judge during live telecast, allowing people of Telangana to decide their credibility.
He criticised the Chief Minister over claims of an empty treasury, while wasting public money on political vendettas, in the name of inquiries. “Stop wasting public money on useless investigations,” he added.
