A political controversy has emerged in Telangana following allegations of corruption within the state's road infrastructure department. The opposition has accused officials of misconduct regarding the evaluation and awarding of bids for the Radial Road-2 project in Hyderabad. Central to these claims are allegations that a 15% commission or 'cut' was demanded in exchange for securing these high-value contracts, which are reportedly worth billions of rupees.

The allegations were brought to public attention by the managing director of a private firm involved in the bidding process. This individual has formally questioned the transparency and fairness of the evaluation criteria used to select contractors for the project. While the opposition has used these claims to demand a high-level investigation into the state government's procurement practices, the government has yet to provide a detailed rebuttal to the specific charges of bribery or bid-rigging.

Currently, the situation remains a developing political dispute. The opposition asserts that the bidding process was manipulated to favor specific entities, while the state government has maintained that all projects are awarded through standard, transparent competitive bidding procedures. There is no independent verification of the 15% kickback claim at this time, and the matter remains in the stage of public accusation and political posturing.
