KTR slams Kishan Reddy for celebrating early in MLAs poaching case

Hyderabad: Coming down heavily on union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao wondered as to why the BJP was celebrating High Court orders of transferring the four BRS MLAs poaching case to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Initially, the BJP had distanced itself from the accused Swamijis involved in the case. But why the BJP was trying to create hurdles in the investigation, he asked.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, the BRS working president slammed union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy for publicly claiming that transferring the case to CBI would guarantee a clean chit to the accused.

“Aren’t these blatant statements reflecting the BJP Government’s approach in destroying the central probe agencies, including the CBI” asked Rama Rao.

There was a time when the accused in a case feared CBI investigation but now many were celebrating, if the case was transferred to CBI. This reflects how the CBI had lost its significance under the BJP regime, he said.
