New Indian Express  

HYDERABAD: In the wake of the Anti-Corruption Bureau listing BRS working president KT Rama Rao as A1 in the Formula E Race case, the pink party is likely to face rough weather going forward. The issue of FIR against Rama Rao could not have come at a worse time as the party is slowly pulling itself together after the release of BRS MLC K Kavitha from Tihar prison in Delhi liquor policy scam. The party cadre wonder if Chandrasekhar Rao would come out of hibernation and lead the party from the front with ACB all set to commence its investigation into the Formula E Race case and Rama Rao’s role in the muddle. There is a discussion going on in the BRS camp on whether the ACB case against Rama Rao is the beginning of the Congress’ second phase of engineering defections of the BRS MLAs.
