Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao has urged Central agencies to investigate the alleged irregular allocation of government contracts to KLSR Infratech Private Limited, a company reportedly associated with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Rao expressed concerns about the worsening law and order situation in Telangana, highlighting instances of evidence tampering during investigations related to KLSR Infratech. He emphasized the need for a thorough examination of financial irregularities, contract allocations, and potential money laundering linked to the company.
Rao criticized the state government for reportedly mishandling evidence in the KLSR Infratech case, leading to crucial documents going missing. He accused the Chief Minister of abusing his power to shield his alleged benami company, which has been awarded substantial government contracts despite undergoing insolvency proceedings. Rao called for impartial inquiries by agencies such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) to address these concerns and ensure transparency.
The BRS working president highlighted the awarding of contracts worth over Rs 2,500 crore to KLSR Infratech, including projects like irrigation works, drinking water supplies, school projects, and road constructions, despite the company’s insolvency status. He raised questions about compliance with procurement norms, financial eligibility, and transparency in the tendering process. Rao stressed the urgency of restoring public trust in law enforcement and investigative agencies through a transparent and comprehensive investigation into the matter.
