Hyderabad, Aug 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) Strongly condemning the allegations made by Union Minister of State Bandi Sanjay Kumar in connection with the phone-tapping issue, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao demanded a public apology from him within 48 hours.
Rama Rao warned that if Bandi Sanjay failed to apologise, he would take legal action against him.
KTR, as the BRS leader is popularly known, termed as “baseless, irresponsible, and degrading” the allegations made by Bandi Sanjay.
KTR said in a statement that Bandi Sanjay crossed all limits by resorting to “senseless, unfounded, and third-rated remarks” without verifying facts, purely to grab “cheap publicity and media attention”.
The BRS leader alleged that Bandi Sanjay had made a habit of hurling such unfounded accusations and sensational statements in political discourse. He remarked that the Union Minister lacked even a basic understanding or knowledge of how surveillance and intelligence systems function.
“Holding a ministerial post is not as easy as carrying the shoes of your Delhi bosses,” KTR quipped, adding that such a position demands responsibility and awareness.
He further said that every time Bandi Sanjay speaks on the phone-tapping matter, his comments stoop to an even lower level, misleading the public with false propaganda. “Bandi Sanjay has turned into a political joker, staging street dramas for cheap publicity and to remain in the headlines,” KTR charged.
Issuing a stern ultimatum, KTR challenged Bandi Sanjay to prove even one per cent of his allegations with evidence. He demanded an immediate withdrawal of the remarks and a public apology. KTR confirmed that a legal notice was being served and warned that if Bandi Sanjay failed to apologise within 48 hours, he would drag him to court.
KTR stressed that the phone-tapping issue was a sensitive matter with serious legal implications, yet Bandi Sanjay was deliberately distorting facts and making baseless charges without any proof - a clear reflection of his political immaturity and irresponsibility.
“False accusations, street level language, and lies for cheap publicity - these have become Bandi Sanjay’s political trademark. We will not tolerate such reckless allegations any further, and I will challenge them in a court of law,” KTR asserted.
The Central minister made the allegations against KTR and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) after appearing before Special Investigation Team (SIT) as a witness.
Bandi Sanjay alleged that KCR and KTR during the BRS rule tapped the phones of several political leaders including their own family members and ministers and MLAs of their own party, businessmen, lawyers and celebrities.
