TSPSC case: KTR sends legal notice to Bandi Sanjay, Revanth Reddy; seeks Rs.100 Cr damages

HYDERABAD: Minister KT Rama Rao on Tuesday sent legal notices to TPCC President Revanth Reddy and Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay over TSPSC paper leakage issue and warned them to face a defamation suite to the tune of Rs.100 crores if they didn’t withdraw their allegations and tender a public apology.

Stating that both the leaders were trying to cast aspersions on the minister and damage his reputation, KTR's lawyer sent legal notices to Revanth and Sanjay.

The notice said that unless the leaders refrain from making such defamatory statements and tender a public apology, minister KTR would take forward the legal proceedings and file a defamation suite in the courts of competent jurisdiction.

KTR earlier said that Revanth and Sanjay proved their ignorance by dragging the Telangana government and him into the issue of paper leakage without understanding the autonomous nature of the constitutionally constituted Public Service Commission. Stating that there is a terrible conspiracy by both the BJP and Congress to stall the entire recruitment process, he also said that MPs Bandi Sanjay and Revanth Reddy earlier termed Telangana government's job notifications a conspiracy and their comments that the youth should put aside their preparation and get into politics reflected the deceitful mentality of these leaders.
