HYDERABAD: Telangana Congress president and Malkajgiri MP A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday demanded the Centre order an inquiry into phone tapping allegations made by Union tourism minister G Kishan Reddy against the TRS government.
He said the Telangana Congress will organise a Chalo Raj Bhavan rally on Thursday demanding a probe by a joint parliamentary committee and an inquiry by a Supreme Court judge into Narendra Modi-led NDA government’s snooping and tapping of phones of Rahul Gandhi and others. A memorandum will be submitted to the governor.
Revanth sought to remind that Kishan Reddy, who was Union minister of state for home in November 2020, had alleged that the phones of several BJP leaders were tapped by the state government ahead of the Dubbak by-election.
“When a Union minister had said that phone tapping is taking place in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not respond to it. Was it because the central government feared that its snooping and phone tapping issue would also get exposed?” Revanth said.
