The Story in Brief
The ACB Special Court adjourned the Formula E car race case hearing to August 25. BRS working president KTR, IAS officer Arvind Kumar, and former HMDA chief engineer B.L.N. Reddy appeared before the Nampally court on Friday. Large crowds of party workers accompanied them, causing a traffic jam near the court.
The ACB alleges that over Rs 55 crore from HMDA funds was spent on the race without maintaining official records to evade audit. It claims costs for three seasons were attributed to a single race to avoid needing Cabinet approval. KTR is accused number one in the case.
The Indian Opinion
The ACB alleges Rs 55 crore was spent from HMDA funds without proper records or Cabinet approval. Those accused say the event brought global prestige to Hyderabad. The real test is whether former minister KTR can show clear authorisation for the payments. The court will decide, but citizens deserve to know if rules were broken for a race or if the case is political vendetta. Watch for the number: was spending for three seasons disguised as one race?
