Former MP and Telangana Congress leader Ponnam Prabhakar alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was afraid of CBI cases and hence was extending his support to the decisions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Ponnam said that KCR was facing prosecution in the Sahara Provident Fund exemption cases. Though the scam had taken place in in the UPA regime, it had come to light now, he said.
He pointed out that KCR had not condemned the issue by saying that he didn't have any involvement and wasn't facing any cases in it. He also pointed out that though Finance Minister Etela Rajender's stated that Telangana would face losses of Rs 19,000 crores due to the GST implementation, all TRS MPs participated in the GST event on June 30 midnight.
He also demanded that the state government release a white paper on the state's financial status.
