Earlier, the reports suggested that the Income Tax officials on Thursday, conducted raids at the premises allegedly linked to Miryalaguda BRS MLA Nallamothu Bhaskar Rao in Telangana.

“It’s in the news that an IT raid is going on my premises but I don’t have anything to do with the IT raid. If I am being raided by the IT, how can I do campaigning? I would be kept at home.
