Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) strongly condemned Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s remarks linking him with Globe Arena, saying the allegations are false, malicious and defamatory.
The former IT and Industries Minister served a legal notice on the Chief Minister, demanding that he tender an unconditional public apology within 48 hours for falsely branding Globe Arena as his ‘benami’ company.
Globe Arena was rechristened as Coempt. The latter company was recently embroiled in a controversy around CBSE’s (Central Board for Secondary Education) answer sheet evaluation after a student hacker flagged glitches in the solution. The company, however, denies allegations, saying the hacked server was a testing server and not the main one.
KTR asserted that he has no ownership, financial, proprietary or any other relationship whatsoever with Globe Arena Technologies and challenged the Chief Minister to substantiate his allegations with credible evidence.
The Chief Minister made the allegations at a dharna organised at Kodangal on Wednesday to protest against the Centre’s high-handed approach to the protests by Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and the ‘attack’ on Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
Refuting the allegations, KTR said the claims that Globe Arena is his benami company, that he facilitated CBSE examination contracts for the firm, or that he had any financial interest in the company are completely false, fabricated and politically motivated.
He said it was highly irresponsible for a Chief Minister, holding the highest constitutional office, to level such serious allegations without any factual basis.
“If Globe Arena is truly my benami company, why did the Congress government itself enter into agreements with that company? Your own government signed contracts with the firm, and today you are claiming that it is my benami company,” he said.
