Union Minister demands thorough investigation into alleged rave party organized by relative of BRS leader, accuses Congress government of shielding.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, has demanded a thorough investigation into an alleged rave party held at a farmhouse in Janwada, on the city’s outskirts, reportedly organised by a relative of BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao.
In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Sanjay accused the Congress government of attempting to shield KTR’s relatives and demanded that CCTV footage from the farmhouse be made public. The BJP leader claimed that certain high-ranking police officials, who previously had close links with the BRS leadership, were working to erase evidence related to the incident. “If the Congress government, which previously attempted to protect BRS leaders in the Kaleshwaram scam, seeks to shield them again due to political connections, there will be strong public opposition,” he warned.
The BJP leader also stated that if Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is serious about making Telangana drug-free, he must ensure a rigorous investigation into the case. “We have got credible information saying that close relatives of KTR were involved, along with those supplying drugs,” Mr. Sanjay stated, urging the State government to treat the matter with due seriousness. He further expressed confidence in the Telangana police but noted previous instances where police officials purportedly shielded family members of former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR).
Meanwhile, Medak BJP MP M. Raghunandan Rao also demanded transparency in the probe, stressing the release of unedited CCTV footage from both inside and outside the premises of the farmhouse. Further, Mr. Rao alleged that inaction on the Janwada farmhouse suggests a compromise between Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and former minister KTR.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
