KTR questions the delay in action

Speaking during the protest, K T Rama Rao questioned why no action had been taken against Raghava Constructions despite allegations of illegal mining. He stated that Harish Rao had presented evidence in the Assembly a day earlier.

Allegations against the minister and the Chief Minister

BRS leaders alleged that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had links with Raghava Constructions. They claimed this was the reason Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy was being defended.

KTR alleged that efforts were being made to protect the minister’s family. He questioned why there should be hesitation in facing an inquiry if no wrongdoing had occurred.

Demand for dismissal and inquiry

BRS members demanded the immediate dismissal of Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. They reiterated their demand for a House committee to investigate the alleged illegal mining activities linked to Raghava Constructions.
