Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan Suspects Her Phone Is Being 'Tapped'

Tamilisai Soundararajan refused to elaborate on her allegations, only saying that there were some social media posts linking Raj Bhavan with the recent 'TRS MLA poaching case'.

Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Wednesday expressed doubts that her phones were being tapped, intensifying her tussle with the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led government, PTI reported.

Addressing a press conference, Soundararajan said, "I doubt (that) my phones are tapped. Undemocratic situation is there in the state, particularly in respecting the Governor. I want to clarify all those things."

She refused to elaborate on her allegations, only saying that there were some social media posts linking Raj Bhavan with the recent "TRS MLA poaching case".

In the 'TRS MLAs poaching case', which is based on a complaint by Pilot Rohith Reddy, three people have been arrested. As per the FIR, Rohith Reddy alleged that the accused offered him Rs 100 crore and in return the legislator had to leave the TRS and contest as a BJP candidate in the next Assembly elections.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Telangana state education department claimed that the Governor was delaying the passage of the Telangana Universities Common Recruitment Board Bill, 2022.

The Bill was sent to the Governor for approval after being passed in the state Assembly during the two-day session on September 12 and 13. However, the Governor has not cleared any of them.

According to Raj Bhavan sources, the delay is due to the Governor's request for clarifications on the Telangana Universities Common Recruitment Board Bill, 2022, to which education department officials have yet to respond. The Governor has also written a letter to the government, requesting that Education Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy meet with her to discuss the Bill.
