Don't pretend persecution when you are probed for corruption: Congress to KTR
Congress MP Chamala Kiran Reddy accused the BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao of indulging in theatrics and projecting himself as a victim to gain sympathy realising the corruption involved in Formula-E race.
Speaking to reporters at Gandhi Bhavan on Monday, along with Rohin Reddy and Malreddy Ramreddy, he asked Mr. Rama Rao to stop playing the role of a film hero and behave like a responsible politician. 'The film dialogues uttered will not make you a film star like Mahesh Babu of the movie Bharat Ane Nenu and stop drawing inspiration from movie dialogues. '
The MP also took a jibe at KTR's apparent belief that going to jail will get him to the top post. 'You are not a revolutionary like Alluri Sitarama Raju or Bhagat Singh but a politician involved in corruption,' he reminded. 'Don't pretend as if you are persecuted while actually being probed for misuse of power and corruption.'
Mr. Kiran Reddy claimed that KTR was linked to a series of controversial incidents abroad. 'KTR's close friend Kedar died mysteriously overseas. Another associate, Prabhakar Rao, fled to America. These things cannot be ignored,' he remarked.
