He alleged that some police officers are acting worse than Congress workers.“We will not forget those who committed wrongdoings and will ensure they face consequences. Our MLA, Adivasi child Kova Lakshmi, was also falsely charged. Her only mistake was working honestly for the party and respecting the people’s democratic verdict. Every person filing false cases will face punishment in the coming days,” KTR said.Speaking to the media in Adilabad after visiting ex-MLA Balka Suman, who was arrested in the Kyatanpally incidents and lodged in Adilabad jail on Tuesday, KTR said that despite the malpractices by Congress and BJP during the municipal elections across the state, the people taught them a lesson. The Congress party resorted to threatening, intimidating, and attacking the party candidates. The entire state witnessed the chaos and misdeeds of the Congress in various municipalities, which mocked the people’s verdict, he said.“In Mancherial district’s Kyathanpally municipality, even though our party won 10 seats and our ally CPI won 4 seats, totalling 14, the Congress engaged in chaos to seize power. Despite winning only 7 out of 22 seats, the Congress displayed an undemocratic thirst for power,” he said.He said the BRS would fight the illegal cases in the courts, and the party has complete faith in the judiciary.Later, he visited the IT tower in Adilabad. Former ministers Jogurammanna, Vemula Prashant Reddy, and others accompanied KTR.Ends/ MSID:: 128754118 413 |
