BRS working president K T Rama Rao says the BJP leader seemed to have not learnt lessons from the past

BRS working president and IT Minister K T Rama Rao has taken a strong exception to the remarks made by BJP state president Bandi Sanjay and accused him of making politically motivated comments without any knowledge of the functioning of constitutional institutions and government departments. He warned Sanjay of possibility of facing criminal cases for his political conspiracies in the coming days.

In a detailed statement here on Friday, Rama Rao responded to what he termed as ill-founded and motivaged charges raised by Sanjay on the TSPSC issue. The TSPSC was an independent institution and the State Government’s involvement in TSPSC affairs was limited. But the comments made by Bandi Sanjay on the Commission proved his lack of knowledge and ignorance, he said.

Lauching a broadside against Bandi Sanjay for his propensity to make baseless allegations, Rama Rao wondered how Sanjay could become an MP. He saw no merit in Sanjay’s efforts to link the Dharani portal and the TSPSC issue to raise false accusations against him. Dharani portal was launched for efficient management of land records. “Yet, the BJP State president with malafide intention was linking the Dharani and TSPSC issue and casting false accusations against me. This will not be tolerated,” Rama Rao warned.

Reminding the BJP State president about facing defamation suit for making baseless allegations in the intermediate examinations issue in the past, the BRS working president said the BJP leader seemed to have not learnt lessons from the past. “Though I



have nothing to do with TSPSC issue, Bandi Sanjay is again trying to defame me. For his politically motivated conspiracies, he will have to face criminal cases in the coming days.”

He pointed out that there were several instances of exam pepaer leaks pertaining to recruitment exams in the BJP-ruled States in which the involvement of BJP leaders was also exposed. In Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there were 13 instances of question papers of different examinations being leaked during the last eight years. 

“What does Bandi Sanjay say about such scandals? He should demand Modi’s resignation holding the latter responsible for such issues, challenged Rama Rao.

Citing the BJP leaders’ involvement in the Madhya Pradesh’s Vyapam recruitment exam scam, the BRS working president reminded that the entire country was very much aware of the action taken by the BJP government in the issue. This also exposed the BJP’s double standards.

On the contrary, soon after the TSPSC exam paper leak surfaced, the Telangana government constituted a Special Investigation Team and got all the accused persons arrested. In the interest of several eligible candidates, TSPSC had taken a crucial decision to cancel the Group I Prelims, he pointed out. “The BJP should desist from making it a political matter. Just for its political gains, the saffron party is also trying to transform it into a law and order issue,” he charged.
