Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) leader Ramya Rao levelled a series of allegations against former BRS MP J. Santosh Kumar, questioning the source of his alleged properties and asking BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao to explain how they were acquired.
Ms. Ramya Rao is the daughter of BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s elder brother and a cousin of Mr. Rama Rao.
Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, she questioned Mr. Rama Rao’s recent claims regarding huge properties held by his family from his grandfather’s time. “We both are the grandchildren of Mr. Raghava Rao (Chandrasekhar Rao’s father). If the family had hundreds of acres, where is our share?” she asked.
She alleged that she and Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter Ms. Kavitha had been kept away from the family while Mr. Santosh Kumar continued to remain close to Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao. She also raised questions over alleged properties in Markook, Banjara Hills, Kondapur and Nanakramguda held by Mr. Santosh. Referring to a commercial property in Nanakramguda, she alleged that a 21,000 sq ft commercial complex valued at ₹21.4 crore was held in the name of Mr. Santosh Kumar’s wife, Rohini.
Ms. Ramya Rao also alleged that Mr. Santosh Kumar had properties in other parts of the country and abroad, including properties in Australia. “Why is Mr. Rama Rao silent on these assets. Is he fearing someone,” she asked.
