KTR to issue legal notice to Revanth over Globarena allegation

BRS working president KT Rama Rao announced plans to serve a legal notice to Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, demanding an apology or facing legal action over allegations linking him to Globarena in the 2019 Intermediate exam results controversy.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao decided to issue a legal notice to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy over allegations linking him and his family to private firm Globarena in connection with the 2019 Intermediate examination results controversy. He demanded that the Chief Minister either tender a public apology for spreading fake news or face legal action.

Rama Rao took the decision after Revanth Reddy, while addressing a Congress protest in Kodangal against the detention of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in New Delhi on Wednesday, alleged that irregularities in the 2019 Intermediate examination results in Telangana that drove 27 students to suicide.

He claimed that the contract was awarded to Globarena, which he termed as a proxy company linked to Rama Rao despite allegedly lacking the required experience and qualifications.

Rejecting the allegations, the BRS working president accused the Chief Minister of spreading “fake news” over a tragic incident for political gain. “The Telangana Chief Minister should start acting like a Chief Minister at least once in his solo term. Resorting to peddling fake news on a very unfortunate incident like paper leaks is abhorrent and demeans your position,” he said.

He categorically denied any connection between himself, his family and Globarena. “Let me reiterate once again — BRS, my family and I have no links to Globarena whatsoever. My legal team is shortly sending you a notice to either apologise or face legal action,” he said. 

Rama Rao stated that he largely ignored Revanth Reddy’s vulgar and wild allegations in the past as they were absurd. “My silence doesn’t mean I agree with you. It’s just that I don’t like wrestling in the dirt,” he added.
