The High Court on Wednesday administered shock to Telangana Rashtra Samithi supremo and Mahbubnagar MP K. Chandrasekhara Rao over “misuse” of party State office “Telangana Bhavan.
Admitting a petition filed by TRS chief’s nephew Umesh Rao, who alleged that the Telangana Bhavan was being used for commercial purposes, the High Court commenced hearing and directed the State government to have an inquiry conducted to know whether the TRS leadership violated any norms and initiate appropriate action. However, the Court also gave a chance to KCR to make changes in conformity with the agreement.
Responding to the High Court direction to the government, the petitioner (Umesh Rao) said that he has no personal differences with KCR, but does not see eye to eye with the TRS chief on political matters. He said that was constrained to knock the doors of the High Court as the Telangana Bhavan was being used for commercial purposes instead of political purposes. Demanding that the State government focus its attention on the misuse of the Telangana Bhavan and initiate action, Umesh Rao warned that he would go to the court again if the government fails to do so.
It may be mentioned here that Umesh Rao filed the petition in the High Court on April 20 this year alleging that the Telangana Bhavan, which was constructed with the donations to the party, was being misused for KCR’s personal affairs. He had made KCR, T-News MD and others as respondents. He had also demanded that the State government confiscate the TRS building.
