Telangana: Bandi Sanjay slams KTR over delayed justice in 2015 cash-for-vote case, calls out BRS govt’s incompetence

New Delhi [India], September 15 (ANI): Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Bandi Sanjay Kumar launched a scathing attack on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President KT Rama Rao, accusing his government of delaying justice in the 2015 Cash for Vote case involving Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.

In a social media post in X, Sanjay accused KT Rama Rao of dragging the Central government for “optics and Twitter stardom” and said that he should have transferred the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the Enforcement Directorate (ED) if they really wanted justice.

“Welcome Home K T Rama Rao garu. Jet Lag & whatever you had seems to be taking toll on you. ACB registered the Cash for Vote case, and your inefficient BRS govt couldn’t defend it for years. Since 2015, your incompetent govt has failed to finish the trial. Now, for optics and Twitter stardom, you’re dragging the Central Govt. You should have got it transferred to CBI or ED if you really wanted justice. Looks like your compensating Rahul Gandhi’s absence by being a dimwit,” he said.

This came after KT Rama Rao questioned Sanjay on why the cash-for-vote suspects remain free despite years of evidence.

“Dear Bandi Sanjay garu! I can understand your over enthusiasm to jail BRS leaders, especially KCR garu But! Pray tell me how the Vote For Note scammer who was caught on camera is still roaming free! No questions asked. May be you should investigate the relationship between Bade Bhai & Chote Bhai a little more? Why is the Chote Bhai not in prison when all evidence is clearly in the open for years! Isn’t BJP in the center all these years? What & Who is stopping you?” KT Rama Rao said an X post.

According to the petition that was filed in the Supreme Court, Revanth Reddy, who was a former Member of the Telugu Desam Party, won the Legislative Assembly election for the terms 2009-14 and 2014-18 from Kodangal Assembly Constituency.

Having been elected as an MLA from the Telugu Desam Party accused No. 1 offered a bribe of Rs. 50 lakh as advance as directed by his former boss N Chandrababu Naidu (former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh) to Elvis Stephenson (complainant) to abstain from casting his vote for the biennial election to be held in June 2015 or to vote in favour of the TDP party.

It was alleged that Revanth, along with other accused, committed a cognizable offence in an attempt to sway votes away from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi Party (formerly Telangana Rashtra Samithi Party) to ensure the TDP’s victory in the June 2015 biennial election.
