Formula E Race deal: Bandi Sanjay finds fault with KTR; accuses Congress, BRS of enacting ‘political dramas’

The Hindu  

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has said the Bharatiya Janata Party will continue its struggle against the “corruption” of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi leaders and relentlessly expose the ‘political dramas’ of both the Congress and the BRS. Finding fault with Mr. Rama Rao, the then Municipal Administration Minister in the previous BRS government, Mr. Sanjay questioned the necessity of ‘paying’ crores of Rupees in Formula E Race deal without Cabinet approval during the BRS rule. He further questioned the “lack of urgency” in releasing funds for fee reimbursement and health schemes by the persons at the helm in the previous BRS dispensation. Mr. Sanjay accused the ruling Congress of playing a “puppet role” in handling the farm house drug case, phone tapping case, “irregularities” in the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project and Dharani land matters, among other corruption cases allegedly involving the BRS leaders.
