Chamala defends Kaleshwaram probe, slams KTR's rhetoric
He dismissed BRS allegations of political vendetta, stating the inquiry was ordered only after the collapse of key components in the project and allegations surfaced regarding site and design changes, and substandard execution. "Everyone is equal before the law. Those involved in altering project designs and approving poor quality work must face the Ghose commission, no matter their political status," he said.
Targeting BRS working president KT Rama Rao, Kiran Reddy accused him of avoiding accountability and hiding behind theatrics. "KTR speaks fluent English, but his arguments lack substance. His politics exist largely on social media," he said.
He also questioned KTR's call for a lie detector test for himself and CM Revanth Reddy. "Why didn't KTR agree to a drug test when Revanth dared him earlier? If lie detector tests solve everything, what are courts for?" he asked.

Defending the ongoing investigation into the Telangana Formula E case, Kiran Reddy said agencies have every right to question KTR over the alleged ₹44 crore moved without approval. "The ACB is doing its job. Calling it vendetta politics is just a tactic to deflect attention," he added.

Kishan Reddy slams Telangana caste survey, backs Centre's census for ‘real justice' to BCs
The proposed caste census to be taken up by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre will be as per the Constitution to provide 'real justice' to the Backward Classes (BC) unlike the 'useless' caste socio-economic survey taken up by the Congress government in Telangana which seeks to 'cheat' them by including Muslims in the BCc quota, said Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy on Friday. 'Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy should explain how the BCs can benefit when his government survey has reduced the numbers to 46% of the population and cutting down the quota benefit further by seeking to include 10% Muslims who will anyway get benefit from the 10% EWS — economically weaker sections quota,' he told a press conference in New Delhi. The High Court had struck down the 4% quota for Muslims when they were included in BC-E category by the then Congress government led by Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy but it is being implemented with the existing stay order in the Supreme Court. The current government intends to increase the same to 10% depriving the BCs of their rights as their quota gets reduced to 32%, he maintained. Mr. Kishan Reddy's contention is that 10% quota to Muslims benefits the Majlis Party and Congress leaders more. In this context, he referred to the GHMC elections where most of the BC reserved divisions were bagged by the Majlis Party in the last elections. The BJP leader said it was unbecoming of the Chief Minister to speak sarcastically about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's caste as 'converted caste' and has pointed out that inclusion of castes into SC/ST/BC has been a continuous process. Mr. Modi's caste was included by the then Congress governments based on the Mandal Commission report. The Congress has never made a BC as either PM or CM in its history plus did not bother to take up caste census or provide quota to BCs when in power. The Minister said the Congress government should follow the High Court order and conduct the local body polls within September and also implement the promised 42% quota for BCs even while 'genuine' BCs get the benefit.

BRS flays CM for half-hearted attempts to implement 42% BC quota
HYDERABAD The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is continuously deceiving backward classes in Telangana as the efforts of the State government to implement 42% reservation to BCs have been half-hearted so far and its 'drama' in New Delhi for the last two days has been giving rise to suspicion over the quota implementation. Stating that caste census conducted by the Revanth Reddy government was not a role model for the country as claimed by the Chief Minister himself, BRS legislators K.P. Vivekanand and Shambipur Raju and party leader Kyama Mallesh said here on Friday that it was an utter flop model as it had pruned the BC population numbers than their actual strength. They sought to know whether implementing the 42% quota for BCs was possible by subverting the due procedure. They reminded the Chief Minister that he had told the Assembly while passing the BC reservation Bills with all parties' support that he would lead an all-party delegation to Delhi to pursue with the Centre for its support to get the President's assent for the Bills. But he did not keep his word. The BRS leaders also criticised the Chief Minister for making insulting comments on BRS MLC D. Sravan, Congress MLA K. Shankaraiah and Minister V. Srihari. Unlike Mr. Revanth Reddy, the three had risen to the present positions with their hard work and not by carrying cash bags for others. Mr. Sravan had played a role in the Statehood movement and as a teacher had moulded several students. Alleging that insulting BCs had become routine for the Chief Minister, the BRS leader demanded an apology from the Chief Minister to the three leaders. They also suggested to find ways to achieve enhanced reservation for BCs in a scientific manner and before that fulfil the promises made in the BC Declaration.

Phones of all MLAs, MPs of Telangana tapped by private hackers at CM's behest, allege BRS leaders
HYDERABAD The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is getting the phones of 118 MLAs, 40 MLCs and 23 MPs and other leaders of the State as also the celebrities in different fields tapped with the help of private hackers with ulterior motives. Even the phones of those who had come to participate in the Miss World Pageant were tapped, BRS MLAs MLAs Padi Kaushik Reddy and Dr. K. Sanjay said, addressing a press conference here on Friday. Stating that Mr. Revanth Reddy himself had said in an informal chat with newspersons in New Delhi on Thursday that phone tapping would be done by the police officials, they said he had also admitted before his Cabinet colleagues that phone tapping was being done as it was required to know what was going on as the head of the government. Demanding CBI and ED inquiries into phone tapping being done at the behest of the Chief Minister, the BRS leaders sought to know why Mr. Revanth Reddy had been indulging in mudslinging in the name of phone tapping on KCR (former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao), KTR (K.T. Rama Rao) and T. Harish Rao, who had never indulged in phone tapping. Mr. Kaushik Reddy alleged that he had complained to the police on December 5 last that his and his wife's phones were being tapped, but no case had been registered so far.
