Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud said there was merit in Telangana Rakshna Sena (TRS) chief K. Kavitha’s allegation that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) received ₹1,400 crore through quid pro quo deals with contractors from Andhra Pradesh, further adding that the transaction raised serious questions that needed to be answered.Mr. Goud was responding to the allegations levelled by Ms. Kavitha against her father KCR’s party. Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan on Friday (July 10, 2026), he also alleged that irrigation projects executed during the previous regime had developed structural problems and demanded that BRS leader T. Harish Rao explain the lapses.The TPCC chief said the party would address internal issues only after a fact-finding exercise, and asserted that the Congress disciplinary committee would deal with all leaders equally. He said two senior leaders, AICC secretary for Telangana Sachin Sawant and Congress leader T. Jagga Reddy, had been entrusted with gathering facts on issues relating to MLA Kadiyam Srihari, Minister Konda Surekha and the Tungaturthi constituency. Appropriate action would be taken after their report, he said.Referring to BRS legislators who had extended support to the Congress government, Mr. Goud said they had done so to protect democracy.
