<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/telangana-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Telangana</a> Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday said the persons arrested in connection with the "TRS MLAs poaching case" were planning to topple four state governments including his own and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/pm-should-pull-up-gujarat-govt-to-come-clean-on-sloppy-investigation-process-cong-on-morbi-tragedy-23253620" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Congress</a>-ruled Rajasthan and appealed to the judiciary to safeguard democracy.
At a press conference here, Rao referred to the recent 'TRS MLAs poaching case' and played a video allegedly concerning the episode in which three persons were arrested.
"They openly say in the video we already dethroned eight (state) governments. And how they conducted the operation. Now we (the men) are in the process of dethroning four governments, i.e Telangana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan," he said.
The three men arrested in the case took the names of top leaders, Rao said. Condemning the claims of the three persons in strong words, he said the men spoke about dethroning non-BJP governments.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP heads the Delhi government while YSRCP is in the ruling saddle in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
Rao said such video evidence has already been submitted to the High Court in connection with the MLAs poaching case. He further said he will send all the evidence he got in the "TRS MLAs poaching case" to the Chief Justice of India, CJs of all High Courts, media houses, CBI and ED for their knowledge.
