Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president and state minister for industries and information technology K T Rama Rao on Saturday refused to make any comments on the alleged attempt by the BJP to poach some of the TRS MLAs.
When asked about the development, KTR said the law would take its own course of action in the BJP’s covert operation to buy four TRS MLAs. He said chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would comment on the issue at an appropriate time.
“We are a responsible political party. If we make any comments at this juncture, opposition parties would criticise us saying probe agencies were being influenced,” he said.
The TRS working president also found fault with BJP state president Bandi Sanjay taking oath at the Yadadri temple. He appealed to the temple authorities to take up samprokshana (cleaning) of the entire temple premises.
“Bandi Sanjay who carried the footwear of his Gujarati bosses, touched the sanctum sanctorum, which is a sin. Hence, I request the temple authorities to take up samprokshana,” KTR said.
Meanwhile, hours after the Telangana high court asked the three alleged BJP men – Ramachandra Bharati, Nanda Kumar and Simhayaji Swamy – to surrender before the Cyberabad police, they were shifted from Shaikpet to Gachibowli.
A police team went to the accommodation where the three persons were staying and explained to them about the directions of the High Court.
Later, all the three were taken to the Cyberabad Police Commissioner office at Gachibowli. They were then taken to court.
Earlier in the day, the Telangana high court after hearing the petition filed by the Cyberabad police ordered three persons in the MLA poaching case to surrender before police for further investigation.
The ACB court had rejected the remand request of the three accused in the case. Cyberabad Police had then moved to the HC challenging the ACB court order.
