Hyderabad: BRS Legislature Party deputy leader T Harish Rao strongly condemned the Special Investigation Team (SIT) for issuing notices to party chief and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in the alleged phone tapping case. He said the government’s actions were driven by political vendetta rather than law.
Calling the BRS supremo the architect of Telangana and a leader revered by millions, Harish Rao said targeting him was an insult and a direct attack on the self-respect of the State. He accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of attempting to malign Chandrashekhar Rao’s reputation to deflect attention from the Congress government’s failures and the alleged involvement of Congress leaders in multiple scams, including the Singareni coal scam and the micro breweries licences scam.
He questioned the timing of the SIT action, which he said indicated desperation within the ruling Congress ahead of the municipal elections. He opined that the government was using investigative agencies as political tools to harass the opposition and divert public focus from governance issues.
“Power is not permanent, and arrogance even less so,” he warned, asserting that the people of Telangana would stand by Chandrashekhar Rao and respond politically to the Congress government’s attempts to intimidate the BRS leadership.
