Cocaine Seized at Rohit Reddy Farmhouse; KTR Condemns Drugs, Alleges Political Targeting
HYDERABAD: The Telangana police’s EAGLE anti-narcotics team raided the farmhouse of former BRS MLA Pilot Rohit Reddy in Moinabad on Saturday and seized 2 grams of cocaine, officials said.
The raid has triggered political reactions, with Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao condemning drug use while alleging attempts to link the party to the case.
KTR condemns drug use by public representatives
In a post on social media, KTR said drugs destroy lives and it was “unfortunate that even people in responsible positions are resorting to drug usage”.
“I personally am strictly against drugs and usage of illicit substances,” he said.
KTR added that the BRS condemns drug use and other illegal activities. “Anyone using and peddling drugs should be strictly punished as per the law irrespective of their political affiliation,” he said.
Alleges attempt to target BRS politically
At the same time, the BRS leader criticised what he called attempts to drag the party into the controversy.
“Having said that, I vehemently condemn the way BRS party is being dragged into this highly deplorable situation. Using the drug case to settle scores with BRS is a reflection of your disgusting politics,” he said.
Rama Rao also said he was ready to undergo any test to prove his stand against drugs.
“I have already repeated several times that I am ready for any test. I welcome Mahesh Kumar Goud’s suggestion that public representatives from all political parties should take this test. Let’s lead by example,” he said.
He further warned against linking his name to drug-related cases without evidence.
“I also hereby warn strongly that dragging my name into any and every drug case will be responded with legal notices,” he said.
