BRS’s Manne Krishank says Congress and BJP are linking KTR to Globarena/Coempt without evidence, and points to the company’s dealings with Congress-run institutions. The record supports parts of that — and leaves big claims on both sides unproven.

A Telangana press-room table holds two labelled files, one marked “KTR link” and another marked “JNTU contract”, while two oversized official-looking hands point at the empty space between them; a magnifying glass rests over blank papers, with a Hyderabad-style government building and a university sign in the background.

The public record contains contracts and allegations, but no proof of the central link.

BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank accused Congress and the BJP of running a campaign tying KT Rama Rao to Globarena Technologies, now Coempt Edu Teck, and challenged them to produce evidence. His remarks, reported from a Saturday press meet, also pointed to the company’s past work with state institutions under Congress governments. According to that account, he cited a 2013 JNTU engagement and later university contracts to ask why those links weren’t being questioned.

What the record supports: Globarena and Coempt are the same entity under a new name, per company-record reporting. Separate reporting documents an MoU signed on November 4, 2013 between JNTU Kakinada and Globarena for e‑learning content, later terminated amid a dispute in which the university alleged a Rs 26.63 crore loss; proceedings were reported pending. The company has also featured in scrutiny over examinations, including the 2019 Telangana Intermediate results episode — relevant context for any present claims.

What it doesn’t: the core allegation that KTR owns or is linked to the company remains unproven in the public domain, as does Krishank’s broader charge of a coordinated Congress–BJP “propaganda” campaign. If either side has documents — corporate filings, contracts naming beneficial owners, or on‑record statements — they haven’t been produced in the reporting consulted. The bar is simple: show the paper, or drop the claim.
