Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA G Jagadish Reddy on Monday, June 30 alleged that former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) is being targeted in the phone tapping case.

Reedy alleged that anti-Telangana forces are trying to malign the BRS president’s image along with that of BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR). The former Telangana energy minister criticised media outlets for allegedly spreading false news regarding KCR and KTR in connection with the phone tapping case.

“When the police haven’t held any press briefing regarding the phone tapping case, then why are the channels spreading misinformation?” Reddy remarked. The Suryapet MLA said that the Telangana phone tapping case is a political ploy, claiming that his phone was also tapped during the Telangana movement.
