Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president and IT minister KT Rama Rao slammed BJP leaders and Union minister G. Kishan Reddy for celebrating the Telangana High Court's order to transfer the MLAs' poaching case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).


According to IANS, Rama Rao asked if Kishan Reddy and BJP leaders repeatedly claimed that they had nothing to do with the case or with the accused, why did they move the court multiple times and interfere in the investigation?


KTR, as the leader is popularly known, further asked Kishan Reddy if they were ready for a narcoanalysis and lie detector test on the accused so that the BJP's relationship with the accused would be clear.


KTR questioned, "You claimed to have no relationship with the accused Swamijis when they were publicly apprehended, but now that the case has been handed over to the CBI, you are celebrating it. "Is it because the investigation is now with your puppet agency?".

"You are now publicly claiming that the BJP will get a clean chit, as is the case with the CBI. This only proves how the central investigation agencies are compromised by the ruling of the BJP," he said.


He remarked that earlier, the accused used to feel afraid if the case got transferred to the CBI, but now they are celebrating.


KTR further added that the BJP has overtaken Congress in misusing the investigating agencies. "Earlier, people used to call the CBI 'Congress Bureau of Investigation', but now people are calling it 'Central BJP Investigation'," he said.


The minister added that as the BJP doesn't have any achievements to its name, it is resorting to vicious propaganda against the opposition parties. "Is it not true that your party is poaching MLAs and toppling the democratically-elected state governments?" the minister questioned. 


He said that the nation knows how the investigation will be done by the BJP's puppets. "The BJP cannot avoid punishment in the people's court," he said, adding that the country is waiting for the right time to give a befitting answer to the BJP.
