Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday demanded Adani Group's "scam" be discussed in a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) as he targeted the Centre over the import of coal and its "love" for Adani.

The Indian banking system is involved in this problem and the whole country is worried, he alleged. Addressing a press conference in Nanded city of Maharashtra after speaking at a public rally, Rao, who heads Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), alleged the Centre is forcing states to import coal which is supplied only by Adani Group.

"Today, time has come. 75 years is a long period. Farmers should also be able to write and make rules," he said. There are several rivers like Krishna and Godavari flowing in Maharashtra.
