The sudden raid by the IT officials on T Congress working president Revanth Reddy’s house has given shock to the other Congress leaders.

Uttam Kumar Reddy said that it was a political vendetta and political conspiracy. He added, “Its Narendra Modi and KCRs game plan to victimize opponents.” First, it was Jagga Reddy and now Revanth Reddy.”
