Telangana CM dares BRS' Rama Rao to proceed legally on AMRUT tenders

Refuting the allegations levelled against him by BRS working president K T Rama Rao over AMRUT scheme tenders, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday dared the former to proceed legally on the matter. Talking to reporters in Delhi, Reddy said Rama Rao is trying to make a counter-attack, without responding to the investigation into allegations of corruption during the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regime in the southern state. "Investigation began into his corruption when he (Rama Rao) was in power. He wants to launch a counter-attack, without replying to that probe," the Congress leader said.

The BRS leader is making allegations against him to avoid a debate on his family's "loot", he added. "If there is anything in the tenders, let him fight legally.
