Overview
- Telangana Panchayat Raj Minister Danasari Anasuya (Seethakka) sent a legal notice to K. Chandrashekhar Rao on Monday demanding BRS delete posts and apologize for alleging a phone‑procurement scam tied to her.
- Seethakka denied any role in the Anganwadi phone tender and said Telangana Technology Services Limited ran the process, citing a total tender value of Rs 44 crore and calling the alleged Rs 30 crore graft claim false.
- The BRS hit back Monday and sought a CBI probe, alleging tenders for about 35,310 phones were floated for roughly Rs 54 crore but only about Rs 24 crore was spent, and that lower‑spec 4G devices were bought at inflated prices.
- K.T. Rama Rao kept up pressure Sunday with broader corruption charges, demanding a CBI inquiry into alleged irregularities at Singareni Collieries, a state coal firm in which the Centre holds about 49 percent, and warning of protests over delayed medical board meetings that affect miners’ families seeking jobs.
- The party is mobilising for a large public meeting in Jagtial on April 20, is preparing a membership drive and a 2027 padayatra, and is weighing a return to its old TRS name, while Congress leaders label the BRS narrative false propaganda and no independent probe has been announced.
