Why are Kishan Reddy, BJP rejoicing MLAs' poaching case transfer to CBI, asks KTR

HYDERABAD: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K T Rama Rao slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for celebrating the High Court's verdict of transfering the MLAs' poaching case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and for calling it 'BJP's victory'.

KTR said, "When the accused Swamijis were caught openly, you said you had no connection with them and now when the case is transferred to the CBI, you are celebrating it. Is it because the case is now with your puppet agency?"

The Minister said that the BJP, only because they were connected to the accused, tried to move the court and interfered the investigation. "You are now publicly claiming that the BJP will get a clean chit as the case is with CBI. This only proves how the central investigation agencies are compromised in the ruling of the BJP," said KTR.

He said that people usually feel nervous if a case was transferred to the CBI, but now they were celebrating.

KTR also said that the BJP had overtaken the Congress party in misusing the investigating agencies. "Earlier, people used to call the CBI 'Congress Bureau of Investigation', but now people are calling it 'Central BJP Investigation'," he said. KTR also asked Kishan Reddy if they would be ready for a narco analysis and lie detector test on the case.

KTR said that the BJP was misusing their power. "We don't have any need to denounce the BJP. They were already denounced by the public itself for their eight-year rule," he said. The minister also said that as the BJP did not do public welfare, they were resorting to breaking other governments to gain power. "Is it not true that your party is poaching MLAs and toppling the democratically-elected state governments?" the Minister said. He also said that the BJP's 'Operation Lotus' failed in Telangana as they were caught red-handed.
