RR Tax allegations: KTR challenges BJP leadership
KTR questioned whether the BJP’s national leadership knew about the alleged collections. Hyderabad’s builders and developers were already aware of the issue, he said. He asked why Modi and Amit Shah had taken no action despite repeatedly raising the matter themselves.
He criticised BJP leaders for making allegations during their Hyderabad visits and leaving without taking action. According to KTR, their criticism remained limited to public statements. He said the party had taken no corresponding steps on the ground.
KTR alleged that an understanding between the BJP and Congress prevented action against the alleged RR Tax collections. He accused the BJP of using the issue for political criticism without taking steps to curb the alleged practice.
