The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao has accused Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of tapping the phone conversations of opposition leaders and his own ministers.

In an open challenge to Reddy, KTR dared him to take a lie detector test before cameras to prove he was not involved in phone tapping. He claimed the Revanth Reddy government is tapping not only ministers but also leaders within his own party. "If Revanth has the courage, let him take a lie detector test with me and publicly deny his involvement in wiretapping."

KTR also referenced Reddy's involvement in the "vote-for-note" scandal, where he was allegedly caught with Rs 50 lakh allegedly intended to buy a legislator. "How someone with such a record of unethical actions could speak against us," KTR said.

He accused the Revanth Reddy government of failing to deliver on key promises and guarantees within its first 100 days.

KTR also questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's inconsistency, pointing out that while the Raebareli MP often speaks of justice, equality, and the Constitution in Delhi, he remains silent on the actions of the Congress-led government against marginalised communities in Telangana.

KTR urged Rahul Gandhi to prioritise protecting Telangana's vulnerable communities from the Congress-led "bulldozer raj" that threatens the poor.

Highlighting the BRS's achievements over the past decade, KTR outlined the success of the government's development programs across sectors like IT and agriculture.

He emphasised key BRS initiatives, including the Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bheema schemes for farmers, as well as the increase in Aasara pensions from Rs 200 to Rs 2,000, aimed at enhancing welfare support.
