Thief is scolding the police: Telangana minister Uttam Kumar Reddy hits out at KTR over scamgress remark

Telangana minister Uttam Kumar Reddy slams KTR's "scamgress" jibe, compares BRS leaders to thieves berating police amid Kaleshwaram probe

"The thief is scolding the police - Uttam Kumar Reddy on KTR's corruption allegations"

Hyderabad, May 24

Telangana Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy hit out at the Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KT Rama Rao over his recent "scamgress" remark.

On Friday, KT Rama Rao slammed the Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government and stated that under Congress, the state has become "scamgress", following the Ghosh commission summoned former Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao.

Slamming KTR, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the "thief is scolding the police." Referring to KTR, Reddy said that these people were involved in "corruption", and the Kaleshwaram project collapsed due to their inefficiency.

The Telangana minister said that BRS got nervous when they received notice from the investigative agencies and are saying "ridiculous" things.

"The way KTR is talking is absolutely ridiculous. The thief is scolding the police. These are the people who are involved in massive corruption; the Kaleshwaram project has collapsed due to inefficiency. We have ordered a judicial commission, which is now issuing notices to all those involved. As soon as they got the notice, they got nervous and started saying some absolutely ridiculous things. We are saying if you have any information, then go and tell the judicial commission, we will take legal action as per the report of the judicial commission", Uttam Kumar Reddy said.

Justice PC Ghose Commission on Tuesday issued summons to former Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), former Minister Harish Rao, and BJP MP Etela Rajender, who also served as a minister during the BRS regime in the ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP).

The Commission, which has been probing financial and procedural lapses in the multi-crore irrigation project, directed the three political leaders to appear for questioning in the first week of June.

According to the sources, KCR was asked to appear before the Commission on June 5, followed by Harish Rao on June 6 and Etela Rajender on June 9.

This political blame game is getting old. Both BRS and Congress have corruption allegations. Instead of name-calling, why can't they focus on development work? Telangana deserves better leadership.

Kaleshwaram project was supposed to be Telangana's pride but became a money pit. ₹1 lakh crore spent and it collapsed? Judicial probe is needed, but will politicians ever be punished? 🤔

KTR calling Congress "scamgress" is rich coming from BRS! Their 10-year rule had so many scams. At least let the judicial commission do its work before making such statements.

As a Hyderabadi, I'm tired of this political drama. First BRS vs BJP, now Congress vs BRS. When will our leaders think about citizens instead of scoring points? 😒

The "thief scolding police" analogy is perfect! BRS leaders are clearly rattled by the notices. Hope the judicial commission brings out the truth - public money shouldn't be wasted like this.

Both sides need to show proof. If Congress has evidence of corruption, present it properly instead of just making statements. Same for BRS - empty rhetoric won't help their case.
