YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) leader YS Sharmila has dared the BJP-led Central government to arrest Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao over alleged corruption. Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark at a public meeting in Warangal that the KCR government was the "most corrupt", Sharmila asked what was preventing the Centre from taking action against the CM.
Sharmila took to Twitter to question why the BJP government had not taken any action against KCR if they possessed substantial information about his alleged corruption. She insinuated that there may be a secret understanding between Modi and KCR, accusing them of engaging in "shadow boxing".
“Mr. Modi..if you have so much information about KCR's corruption...why didn't you investigate it all these years? Why was KCR not arrested if BRS is not the B team of BJP? If the KCR government is the most corrupt then why did you not give orders for immediate investigation?” she asked.

Sharmila, who is the sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, claimed that the BJP government was exploiting KCR for its purposes despite knowing about his corruption.
She alleged that the BJP was not taking action despite the evidence of corruption in the Kaleshwaram project by the Telangana government. Sharmila mentioned that the investigating agencies initially intensified their probe into the Delhi liquor scam case.
However, she claimed that they subsequently went silent upon discovering that KCR's daughter, Kavitha, was allegedly the main mastermind behind the scam.
Furthermore, she alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into the TSPSC (Telangana State Public Service Commission) scam revealed lapses by the Telangana IT Minister, but these were supposedly ignored.
Sharmila also questioned why KCR remained silent during the Prime Minister's visit to Telangana, suggesting that he should have raised concerns about unfulfilled commitments made to the state during its bifurcation.
