The Telangana-based Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has issued legal notices to the news portal Velugu following a report alleging that Chief Minister KCR’s farmhouse was used for political purposes. The notices demand the removal of the article and claim defamation.
The Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has formally served legal notices to the online news portal Velugu, citing a report that alleged the Chief Minister’s farmhouse was used for political activities. The notices, issued on Tuesday, demand the removal of the article and claim that the publication has defamed the party and its leaders.
Velugu’s piece, published last month, highlighted the location and usage of the farmhouse, suggesting it was a hub for political meetings. BRS officials have described the coverage as false and damaging to the party’s reputation.
The legal notices also warn of potential civil action if the portal does not comply within a specified timeframe. Velugu has not yet responded publicly to the allegations or the demands.
The incident follows a series of disputes between BRS and media outlets over coverage of the party’s activities. Analysts say the move may affect the party’s relationship with the press and could influence public perception of the Chief Minister’s administration.
