K.T. Rama Rao Alleges Mismanagement and Calls for Probe into SCCL Coal Imports

Analysed 15 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·Telangana, India·Politics

BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao accused the Telangana Congress government and the BJP-led central government of mismanaging Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), alleging weakening of the company and irregularities. He claimed the state owes SCCL around ₹60,000 crore and criticized delays affecting operations. Rao also alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's policies favor costly foreign coal imports, potentially involving a ₹3,000 crore scam, and called for an independent probe and transparency in procurement decisions.
