  "account": "K.T. Rama Rao, the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), has stated that the government's corruption and irregularities in Telangana are being exposed not only by opposition parties but also by ruling party legislators themselves. At the Independence Day celebrations in the party office, he agreed with Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy's remarks, highlighting how a ruling party MLA publicly accused the government and its leadership of corruption. This development, previously dismissed by the Congress government as mere political criticism, now signifies the severity of the situation in the state. Rao alleged that the Telangana Congress was funding the AICC and its leadership, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claims that the state had become an ATM for the AICC. He questioned the Center's silence on the widespread corruption in Telangana and demanded impartial investigations by central agencies. Rao also criticized Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for allegedly prioritizing land allocation for his family members over tangible benefits for the people and urged central agencies to function transparently rather than for political motives.",
