SC shocks T CM Revanth Reddy. In a surprising turn of events, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy faced a considerable setback when the Supreme Court issued notices to him and other individuals involved in the Cash-for-vote scam. This case dates back to 2015 and has remained a focal point of political contention. The petition prompting the Supreme Court's attention sought directives to transfer the trial of the case from Telangana to Madhya Pradesh.
The Cash-for-vote scandal alleges that Rs 50 lakhs were paid to Elvis Stephenson to secure his support for the TDP candidate. Revanth Reddy, who was a prominent leader of the Telugu Desam Party at the time, was subsequently arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
The Supreme Court's decision to serve notices to Revanth Reddy and the other defendants signifies a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings. The court's order directed them to respond to the petition, and the next hearing has been scheduled for four weeks later. This indicates the seriousness with which the Supreme Court is treating this case.
The issuance of these notices has intensified the political debate surrounding the Cash-for-vote scam. Revanth Reddy's adversaries have seized upon this opportunity to further undermine his credibility and political standing.
The legal developments in this case have garnered widespread attention, and the outcome of the proceedings is likely to have implications for Revanth Reddy's political career. The matter is expected to be closely watched by political observers and media outlets as it continues to unfold in the coming weeks and months.
