On Thursday, the Anti-Corruption Bureau made a significant move by registering an FIR against BRS working president and MLA KT Rama Rao in Hyderabad. According to official sources, the FIR was filed due to alleged irregularities in the organization of the Formula-E race during the previous regime. This decision was made after Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Varma granted permission to register a case against Rama Rao regarding this matter.
The case was filed under the relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act against Rama Rao and two other officials. The Telangana government had previously written to the governor in November, requesting permission to file an FIR against Rama Rao for the suspected irregularities. It was reported that the Municipal Administration department had also urged the Anti-Corruption Bureau to conduct an investigation into the matter.
Earlier this year, the government had asked a senior bureaucrat to explain their actions regarding the Formula-E race. It was alleged that the bureaucrat had entered into an agreement without the approval of the competent authority and had also made a payment of Rs 55 crore. Rama Rao, who was the Municipal Administration minister during the previous BRS regime, was the driving force behind hosting the race in Hyderabad last year.
However, the race was supposed to take place in February this year as well, but it was ultimately cancelled when the Congress government came into power in December 2023. In response to these allegations, Rama Rao stated that he would face the legal proceedings against him. He also accused the Congress government of making baseless accusations against him for several months now. BRS also defended their actions, stating that the previous government had entered into an agreement with the organizers of the Formula-E race to benefit Telangana.
In conclusion, the Anti-Corruption Bureau's decision to file an FIR against Rama Rao has caused a stir in Hyderabad. The allegations of irregularities in the organization of the Formula-E race have raised concerns, and the legal proceedings against Rama Rao will shed more light on the matter.
