Hyderabad: BRS leader and former IPS officer R S Praveen Kumar on Friday rejected rumours of switching political parties and warned of legal action against those spreading false reports.
In a post on social media, Praveen Kumar said fake news was circulating about him joining another party. He claimed the ruling Congress had triggered the rumours to divert public attention.
According to him, public anger against the Congress had begun to surface across Telangana. Therefore, he alleged, the party resorted to what he described as an attention diversion strategy.

Meanwhile, Praveen Kumar said he joined the BRS after careful thought. He added that the future of all sections in Telangana remained secure with the party.
He clarified that his stand did not change even when the BRS was out of power. Moreover, he said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy failed to influence his decision despite making offers in the past.

Further, he alleged that Telangana had already suffered due to wrong decisions. He warned that continued mistakes could damage future generations.
Finally, Praveen Kumar cautioned that he would initiate legal action if the fake news campaign continued.
తెలంగాణ ప్రజలను పట్టపగలే మోసం చేసిన కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీ రోజురోజుకు పెల్లుబుకుతున్న ప్రజాగ్రహం నుండి తప్పించుకోవడానికి యధావిధిగా మరో అటెన్షన్ డైవర్షన్ కుట్రకు తెరలేపింది.
నా మీద సామాజిక మాధ్యమాల్లో పార్టీ మారుతున్నాను అంటూ ఫేక్ న్యూస్ ప్రచారం చేయిస్తున్నట్లు నా దృష్టికి చాలా మంది…
