Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working President K. T. Rama Rao has issued legal notices to Minister Konda Surekha and other Congress leaders for implicating him in the ‘phone tapping’ controversy. Despite his denials, the ruling party leaders persist in making these claims. Rama Rao demanded an unconditional apology and warned of defamation suits if the allegations persist. Legal notices were also sent to online media platforms for spreading unverified information.
