‘Contracts not awarded on caste basis’

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy fired back at KT Rama Rao (KTR) over allegations regarding the Amrut Scam, addressing KTR’s claims about the involvement of Srujan Reddy, who is the son-in-law of BRS MLA Upender Reddy.
Speaking on the matter, Revanth clarified, “KTR is naming Srujan Reddy, pointing out his relationship to Upender Reddy. Yes, Upender Reddy is a BRS MLA, and under the BRS government, the same company bagged projects worth thousands of crores. If KTR has an issue, he’s free to raise complaints or pursue it legally. However, instead of addressing the wealth amassed by his own family, he’s attempting to divert attention by making accusations against me.”
Revanth emphasized his connections with the Reddy community across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, dismissing any implication that contracts were awarded based on caste.
“Any Reddy in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are either distant or close relatives of me. Just because he’s a Reddy doesn’t mean he got work through me or my relatives. If there are concerns about the tenders, KTR should challenge it legally instead of making baseless claims to deflect public attention from his own family’s actions,” he added.
