Rama Rao's counsel argued that the alleged offence under 409 IPC was not made out as there cannot be ‘entrustment’ of ‘public money’ in an elected legislator. He emphasised that the primary ingredient of criminal breach of trust was lacking as there was no dishonest intention and misappropriation as required under the law

Harish Rao dismissed allegations of quid pro quo, stating that Greenko Group bore the expenses of hosting the international event, which enhanced Hyderabad's global reputation.

Harish Rao hailed the High Court's decision preventing the arrest of the BRS working president in the alleged Formula E case, calling it a moral victory. He criticized Revanth Reddy for making false accusations of Rs 600 crore corruption in the Formula E racing event. "According to a Nielsen survey, the event generated Rs 700 crore in economic benefits for the State in its first year alone. Despite clear evidence, Revanth continues to spread lies to mislead the public," he stated.

Former Ministers G Jagadish Reddy, Vemula Prashanth Reddy, and Talasani Srinivas Yadav said the government was using false allegations against Rama Rao to divert attention from its unfulfilled promises to the public
