BRS silent on SIR due to tacit understanding with BJP, alleges Mahesh Goud
Telangana Congress leader Mahesh Goud has accused the BRS party of maintaining a tacit understanding with the BJP to avoid legal scrutiny. He claims this alliance explains the BRS's silence regarding the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political tensions in India regarding the integrity of electoral processes and the use of investigative agencies against opposition parties.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud questioned the Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) silence on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and alleged it was because of an alleged tacit understanding with the BJP.
Addressing the media at Gandhi Bhavan, he asked why BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao and senior leaders K.T. Rama Rao and T. Harish Rao had not spoken out against the Election Commission of India when the entire country was questioning it.
While parties across the country, barring the BJP and its allies, were opposing the exercise, the BRS leadership had remained silent, he alleged. He suspected that the BRS was reluctant to criticise the BJP because of the possibility of arrests in the Formula E case and the CBI investigation into the Kaleshwaram project.
