KTR questions BJP’s silence on AMRUT tenders scam

Rama Rao had previously called for an in-depth investigation by the Centre into the tenders under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao questioned the silence of BJP leaders from Telangana on the alleged Rs.8,888 crore scam in AMRUT tenders involving Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. He was surprised that while he received congratulatory messages from senior Congress leaders for exposing the issue, the BJP’s response was notably absent.

“Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani Hain Yeh RR Aur BJP Ki…’ (sic) remarked Rama Rao on the possible understanding between Revanth Reddy and the BJP in Telangana.

Rama Rao had previously called for an in-depth investigation by the Centre into the tenders under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme. He also sent a letter to union Ministers Manohar Lal Khattar and Tokhan Sahu last Friday, urging them to take action against the alleged corruption. He stated that the Chief Minister himself got involved in massive corruption shortly after assuming office.

In a separate post on X, the BRS working president also rebuked the Congress for its hypocrisy over the government agreements with the Adani Group. In response to the Congress terming the bids won by Adani Group in Maharashtra for power supply as “rigged deal”, he took a dig, questioning whether the Congress-led Telangana government’s deal with the same Adani Group was “squeaky clean”, and sought to know Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s response.
