Hyderabad: BRS MLC Dr Dasoju Sravan demanded a comprehensive and transparent probe into the Moinabad drugs case linked to a gathering at former MLA Pilot Rohith Reddy’s farmhouse.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Sravan said authorities must act against anyone involved in the incident. He said action should not depend on political affiliation or social status.
However, he accused the Congress government of spreading false propaganda against BRS working president K T Rama Rao. According to him, the ruling party attempted to drag KTR into the Moinabad drugs case without any evidence.
Sravan said reports indicated that individuals from several political parties attended the farmhouse gathering. He also noted that TDP MP Mahesh Yadav was reportedly present at the event.
Police later claimed that officers found drugs at the premises. Therefore, Sravan said investigators must uncover the full facts through a fair inquiry.
Moinabad drugs case sparks allegations of political targeting
Sravan criticised Congress social media platforms for linking K T Rama Rao to the Moinabad drugs case. He said those claims lacked evidence and were politically motivated.
He also accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of making baseless allegations due to political hostility. According to Sravan, the ruling party aimed to damage the reputation of opposition leaders.
He said linking KTR to the incident was illogical. Instead, he urged the government to focus on tackling the drug menace in the state.
Sravan also questioned whether Congress leaders had the moral authority to speak about drugs. He referred to the seizure of drugs worth ₹12,000 crore in Cherlapally by Mumbai Police.
He asked what the state’s anti-drug “Eagle” teams had been doing before the intervention. According to him, the development exposed serious lapses in enforcement.
Moinabad drugs case debate highlights drug menace concerns
The BRS leader cited official data to underline the seriousness of the problem. He said authorities registered 2,572 drug cases in Telangana during 2025.
Sravan added that the government admitted in the Legislative Council that drug consumption had increased by 30 percent in the state.
He also said BRS leaders were ready to undergo drug tests if doubts were raised. Sravan challenged the Chief Minister to set up special counters inside the Assembly premises after the Governor’s address.
According to him, MLAs and MLCs from all parties could then undergo drug tests voluntarily. He asked whether Revanth Reddy would accept the challenge.
Sravan said every BRS public representative was prepared to take such tests.
Moinabad drugs case row widens political confrontation
Sravan alleged that Congress leaders targeted KTR because he had exposed failures of the state government. According to him, the ruling party used the Moinabad drugs case to deflect criticism.
He also recalled that a court had earlier reprimanded Minister Konda Surekha for making allegations against KTR. Sravan warned that leaders making similar accusations now could face legal action.
The BRS MLC also criticised the Congress government for failing to implement its promises. He said the government had made commitments to farmers, women and youth.
According to him, the administration had promised to implement guarantees within 100 days. However, he said those commitments remained unfulfilled.
Sravan also recalled the tenure of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. He said the previous government had taken strong action against drug-related crimes.
However, he added that the BRS would support the current government if it took serious steps to curb drug abuse. At the same time, he warned that leaders should not politicise such a sensitive issue.
Former BC Commission member Upendra Chari also attended the press conference.
