The BRS has challenged Telangana government’s GO 134 ordering an inquiry into 16 land parcels, alleging political vendetta and bias. RS Praveen Kumar demanded an impartial investigation, questioned the committee’s composition and raised allegations concerning land dealings involving Congress leaders.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy told the Supreme Court that the 2015 cash-for-vote trap laid by the Anti-Corruption Bureau was illegal, as it was conducted without an FIR. His counsel, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, argued that the prosecution was unsustainable under the Prevention of Corruption Act as it stood in 2015, which did not cover bribe givers.
ACB trapped Revanth Reddy, who was a TDP MLA then, for allegedly attempting to give a bribe of Rs 50 lakh as advance, as part of Rs 5 crore deal to TRS nominated Anglo Indian MLA Elvis Stephenson
