Accusing the BRS and Congress of shielding each other’s “corruption” and “acts of deception”, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has alleged that the two parties are having a mutual understanding to defend each other from “wrong-doings” as part of a “protection bond.”
He was speaking to mediapersons in Karimnagar after participating in Raksha Bandhan festivities on Saturday.
Mr. Sanjay reiterated his demand for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into the phone tapping during the previous BRS rule, saying the scope of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) currently probing the case is very limited.
The phone tapping was done under the K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) government in violation of the regulations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority, he said, saying, “This is entirely a matter under the jurisdiction of the Centre.
The accused extorted hundreds of crores of rupees from political leaders, businessmen and film actors through phone tapping, he charged. Where did that money go? he asked, saying finding an answer to that is beyond the capacity of SIT officials.
