Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has responded to the recent developments in the Formula E car race case involving BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). The Telangana High Court had dismissed KTR's petition to quash the ACB case, and during the proceedings, the court made it clear that it would not interfere in the investigation. KTR's legal team had sought protection from arrest, but the court did not consider this request. Subsequently, KTR challenged the case in the Supreme Court, while the Telangana government had already filed a caveat petition.
In a media interaction, Minister Ponguleti spoke on the matter, stating that every mistake, even if delayed, will eventually come to light. He remarked that demonstrating power before courts and institutions is not appropriate. He added that the BRS leaders are not the target and questioned why KTR would approach the court if he had not done anything wrong. Ponguleti emphasized that courts are the ones to decide guilt and innocence, and that the government cannot interfere in judicial matters. He clarified that his personal view was that they could not get involved in this case.
