Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president and state information technology and industries minister K T Rama Rao on Saturday raised a pertinent question: why there were no raids or searches by the central agencies on a single Bharatiya Janata Party leader in the country in the last eight years.
In a tweet in the social media, KTR sought to know as to how many raids were conducted by the Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax and Central Bureau of Investigation on the BJP leaders during the last 8 years.
“How many ED, IT and CBI raids on BJP leaders or their kith and kin in last 8 years?” KTR tweeted.
He further questioned “Kya sab ke sab BJP waale Satya Harishchandra ke rishtedaar hain? (Are all BJP leaders relatives of Satya Harishchandra)”
ED had issued fresh summons to Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi asking her to appear on June 23 in an alleged money laundering case connected to National Herald newspaper.
Cutting across party lines, political parties have been raising objections over the BJP-led Central Government’s politically- motivated use of central investigating agencies over members from other parties.
At the same time, the TRS working president asserted that only the TRS has the guts and capability to challenge the Narendra Modi government in the country.
“Day in and day out, tourists in the guise of political leaders are coming from Delhi to Telangana to make politics,” he said.
Reacting to the recent appeal made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to the people to give his party one chance to rule the state, KTR wondered what the party had done to the state when it was in power for 50 years.
On Pradesh Congress Committee president Revanth Reddy’s comments that Reddys should be given a chance to come to power, the TRS president said it was atrocious that the Congress leaders are asking for votes on caste lines.
“Do you want leaders who are caste fanatics or those who strive for the development of the state,” KTR asked the people.
