Hyderabad: TRS working president KT Rama Rao has warned Congress party with defamation case if it doesn’t stop making false allegations against him over Intermediate results issue. He further clarified that the Telangana IT department was not at all associated in awarding contract to Globarena Technologies. The contract awarded by the Intermediate Board to Globarena Technologies was Rs 4.35 crore and Congress party says kickback received for the contract were Rs10,000 crore. This shows the wisdom of Congress party, maintained KTR.

“The Congress party is linking the Intermediate results fiasco with Education department and IT department. I once again clarify that the IT department doesn’t have any role in awarding the contract to Globarena Technologies. And the IT department doesn’t involve in Intermediate exams and results. So, in what way Congress wants to blame it on me?” remarked KTR.

“If Congress party doesn’t stop leveling false allegations against the TRS government and me, I’ll file a defamation case against the grand-old party. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi apologised in the court for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I suggest you that don’t drag yourself into such situation. It’ll spoil your party image in the public,” said KTR.

While referring to a challenge posed by Congress senior leader V Hanumantha Rao, KTR further added that “I don’t have to accept the challenge from a buffoon to prove my innocence by taking a oath at Peddamma temple. The opposition parties are trying to brand me as a thief and demanding me to prove myself.”
