Will quit if KTR proves charges on CM: Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy
New Indian ExpressHYDERABAD: Condemning BRS working president KT Rama Rao’s allegations against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, I&PR Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy threatened legal action against the former. Asserting that Sudini Srujan Reddy was not Revanth’s brother-in-law, Srinivasa Reddy said: “Srujan is in fact very close to Rama Rao and the son-in-law of former MLA Upender Reddy,” Stating that he would resign as minister if Rama Rao proves his allegations, Srinivasa Reddy challenged the Sircilla MLA to step down from his post if he failed to substantiate his claims. He said: “Rama Rao is crying foul because his close benami friends, who cartelised and tried to loot government money, lost out in a transparent bidding process. After being a minister for 10 years and being involved in the tender process, the BRS leader should know the numbers.” The minister pointed out that the government granted administrative approval on September 20, 2023, for Rs 5,385 crore for 98 water supply and nine sewerage projects in three packages under AMRUT 2.0.
