Union minister and BJP Telangana state president G. Kishan Reddy demanded cancellation of BRS party recognition in the wake of phone tapping case. He said that now it is clear that the phones of private people were tapped and money was collected by threatening them, and it was revealed that the phones of celebrities were tapped during the police investigation.
“As the then Chief Minister, legally, KCR should be responsible for the phone tapping. There is no possibility of tapping the phones of these people without KCR’s orders” he said and demanded that strict action should be taken against KCR in the phone tapping case which is creating tremors in the state.
He said that the BRS government has acted to disturb the integrity of the country with the phone tapping, hence the governor will be asked to conduct a high-level inquiry into the matter. He urged that investigating agencies, courts, election commission and governor have been asked to take this matter as sumoto.
He lamented that KCR had enacted a drama in the name of Farmhouse files regarding the poaching of four BRS MLAs by BJP. He alleged that this drama is masterminded, directed and produced by KCR. The actors are BRS MLAs.
Kishan Reddy demanded that the Election Commission should take an immediate decision on canceling the recognition of BRS. It is alleged that this affair was done for political gain on the one hand and to extort crores of rupees from some private persons on the other hand.
He said that a retired officer was appointed as the Intelligence Chief and the phone tapping was conducted under his leadership. The police officials revealed that phone tapping was done during the 2018 Assembly and 2019 Lok Sabha elections and the subsequent by-elections of Dubbaka, Huzurabad and Munugodu, he added.
“The Election Commission should intervene and reconsider the identity of the BRS party,” demanded Kishan Reddy. He said that Telangana BJP will file a complaint against the phone taping crime and it is the responsibility of the Election Commission to act swiftly.
