Telangana Governor approves prosecution of BRS working President KTR in connection with Formula E race case - India Today
The Telangana Governor has granted approval for the prosecution of BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao in the ongoing investigation related to the Hyderabad Formula E race controversy. The case stems from alleged irregularities and misuse of government funds during the organisation of the 2023 event, which took place when the BRS was in power. Authorities had sought clearance to move forward with legal action, and the Governor’s nod now allows the probe to progress through formal judicial channels. KTR has repeatedly denied the accusations, calling them politically motivated and asserting that the event was conducted following established norms. With this approval, investigative agencies can now file charges and proceed with further evidence collection. The development has intensified political tensions in Telangana, especially as parties prepare for upcoming elections. The case is expected to attract significant public and media attention as it moves into the next legal phase.
