Even though the BRS leaders raised a stink after the SIT pasted a notice at his Nandinagar residence in Banjara Hills, Rao, popularly known as KCR, wrote a six-page-long letter to the investigators, agreeing to appear before them at 3 pm tomorrow.
The BRS president also requested the SIT to conduct the questioning in his farmhouse in the Medak district instead of Hyderabad.
The BRS, however, has alleged that the notice was issued just after they approached Governor Jishnu Dev Varma for an inquiry into the alleged coal scam, accusing the Congress government of attempting to distract people with the notice to Rao.
BJP leader and Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, said the phone-tapping case was dragging on so long that television serials that had started during this period wound up their episodes by this time.
She also alleged that he has a tacit deal with chief minister A Revanth Reddy to destroy the BRS and her family.
Former Congress President Sonia Gandhi will also not travel to Telangana to participate in the function due to health reasons.
Rao’s assertion was dismissed by Telangana Chief Minister and PCC president A Revanth Reddy said that the former CM was speaking like KA Paul, the maverick Christian evangelist and leader of Praja Shanti Party.
KCR was banned from electioneering by the ECI for 48 hours for his derogatory comments against Congress.
The poll panel's action came following a complaint by senior Telangana Congress leader G Niranjan against Rao alleging that in his press meet in Sircilla on 5th April he had made derogatory and objectionable statements against the Congress.
Telangana is reeling under drought like conditions during this particularly scorching summer.
