Leader of Opposition in Telangana State Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Saturday asked Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao to disclose the names of people who donated money for Ayutha Maha Chandi Yagam and recent publicity drive for Telangana Rashtra Samithi.

Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, Shabbir Ali said that the Chief Minister himself claimed that he was in receipt of nearly Rs. 7.5 crore donations for the Yagnam. He must reveal the entire list of donors. Further, KCR should also reveal the list of people who provided funds for massive publicity campaign in Greater Hyderabad by engaging thousands of hoardings . “KCR must clarify whether he accepted those donations in the capacity of Chief Minister or the TRS President. Who is donating so much of funds to KCR and Why?” he asked while adding that TRS party’s revenues have increased manifold compared to Telangana Government’s revenues.

Shabbir Ali said KCR should disclose the details before the GHMC elections. “He can also furnish those details before the Income Tax Department. We will get a copy by filing an RTI application,” he said while demanding that the Chief Minister learn to act in a transparent manner. He alleged that the Chief Minister was hit with publicity-mania. “He wants his hoardings and pictures everywhere. Even public toilets were not spared,” he said.
