Amid speculations over a possible change of guard in the Congress government in Telangana, BRS working president KT Rama Rao questioned the agenda behind an alleged meeting between a senior Minister in the State Cabinet, Congress strategist Sunil Kanugolu and also the representatives of Adani Group at a hotel in Hyderabad. He wondered whether Adani had become friends with the Congress or the meeting was meant to usurp 84 acres of prime land in Raidurg.
“Why did Adani meet with No. 2 in Telangana Cabinet in the presidential suite of ITC Kohenur today evening? And more importantly, what was Sunil Kanugolu doing in the meeting? Has Adani become friends with Congress or is it to
usurp the 84 Acres of precious Govt land in Rayadurgam? (sic)” he asked.
Speculation has been rife that the Congress was planning to change the Chief Minister in Telangana, especially after Revanth Reddy drawing huge flak for the demolitions taken up with regard to HYDRAA and the controversial Musi Riverfront project. Reports were widely shared on social media about an alleged meeting between Sunil Kangolu, representative of Adani and a senior Minister who is in the race to become the next Chief Minister. Sources said the meeting was not about social media strategy and indicated that the meeting was held to devise a strategy to untangle the Congress from the ongoing controversies.
