Adani Bribery Case: KTR Demands Telangana Govt To Cancel All Contracts

Hyderabad, Nov 22 (Maxim News): BRS working president KT Rama Rao demanded the Congress government in Telangana to cancel its agreements with the Adani Group, worth Rs 12,400 crore, and return the Rs 100 crore donation made by the group for the Skill University. The demand follows charges of corruption and bribery against industrialist Gautam Adani in a US court. Rama Rao also pressed the Congress and BJP to clarify their stance on the matter.

Addressing the media at Telangana Bhavan, Rama Rao highlighted that smaller nations like Kenya terminated their deals with Adani following the indictment. “Why cannot Telangana do the same?” he questioned, accusing both Congress and BJP of double standards. He challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to explain their association with Adani, alleging complicity and hypocrisy.

“With Adani indicted in the US for corruption, India’s global reputation has suffered another blow,” he stated. Rama Rao criticized the BJP-led Centre for failing to launch a Joint Parliamentary Committee or investigative probe into Adani’s activities, despite repeated demands from the BRS earlier. He argued that this has led to investor losses and diminished India’s standing internationally.

The BRS working president charged the Congress government in Telangana with laying a red carpet welcome for the Adani Group into the State, contrasting it with the BRS government’s decade-long resistance. Within months of Revanth Reddy assuming office, the government announced investments totaling Rs 12,400 crore, including Rs 5,000 crore each for green energy and data centers, Rs 1,400 crore for a cement factory, and Rs 1,000 crore for the aerospace sector.

He reminded that shortly after Adani donated Rs 100 crore, the Chief Minister sought to privatize power distribution companies in favor of Adani and allow the establishment of the Ambuja cement factory at Ramannapet, despite opposition from locals.

Pointing out Rahul Gandhi’s criticism of Adani nationally, Rama Rao called out the Congress’s double standards. “If Adani is a fraud at the national level, why is he welcomed in Telangana?” he asked. He demanded Rahul Gandhi clarify if the Adani deals in Telangana had his approval and whether he supported Revanth Reddy’s decisions.

అదానీ వ్యవహారం వల్ల దేశం ప్రతిష్ట మంటగలిసిపోతే రాష్ట్ర బీజేపీ నాయకులు ఎందుకు స్పందించటం లేదు. జాతీయ స్థాయిలో, రాష్ట్ర స్థాయిలో మీ విధానం ఏంటో చెప్పండి.

అదానీ విషయంలో నోరు విప్పకుండా కాంగ్రెస్, బీజేపీ రెండు జాతీయ పార్టీల విధానం ఒకటే అన్నట్లుగా కనిపిస్తోంది.

The former Minister also questioned what benefits Adani might have sought in exchange for his donation to the Skill University, referencing Rahul Gandhi’s earlier comments that such donations from industrialists/businessmen often come with expectations of favors. “How is Modi corrupt for associating with Adani, but Revanth Reddy is not?” he asked.

Targeting the BJP, Rama Rao criticized its silence on the Adani controversy in Telangana and accused it of a tacit understanding with the Congress. He asked whether India’s reputation did not take a beating due to Adani’s indictment and whether they endorsed Revanth Reddy’s agreements with the group.

తెలంగాణ కన్నా తక్కువ ఆదాయం ఉన్న కెన్యా.. అమెరికాలో కోర్టు తీర్పు తర్వాత అదానీతో ఒప్పందాలు రద్దు చేసింది.

రాహుల్ గాంధీ గారు అదానీపై విమర్శలు చేస్తారు. మరి తెలంగాణ ప్రభుత్వం ఎందుకు అదానీ ఒప్పందాలను రద్దు చేయదు?

He also demanded an explanation for Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s recent secret meeting with Adani in Hyderabad and subsequently, released no information on the recent raids of the Enforcement Directorate on the Minister’s residence. Accusing Congress of shielding its leaders, he challenged them to disprove his allegations.

Notwithstanding Revanth Reddy’s rhetoric and abusive politics, Rama Rao reaffirmed that the BRS will continue exposing the failures of the Congress government. He suggested the Chief Minister visit Lagacherla and address farmers’ grievances. (Maxim News)
