BRS Urges Centre To Act On AMRUT Scam In T'gana

Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday demanded the Centre act on the alleged AMRUT scam in Telangana and said that this is a litmus test for the BJP to demonstrate sincerity in rooting out corruption.

He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to respond to alleged corruption in the tender process for awarding works under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, he agreed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s allegation that Telangana has become an ATM for Congress but asked why he was not taking action.

“Will you or will you not act on the AMRUT scam in Telangana? This will be a litmus test for BJP leadership in Delhi,” he said Regarding Prime Minister Modi’s allegation of ‘RR Tax’, he said it was not enough to make accusations about ‘Rahul and Revanth Tax’ in Telangana without any action.
