Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy didn’t mince words, accusing Telangana’s Congress regime of ‘slaughtering democracy’ through draconian measures. From Hyderabad, he spotlighted the disturbing chain of events that have gripped the state.
It began with an attack on BJP legislator K Venkata Ramana Reddy’s Kamareddy outpost. In retaliation—or so it seems—authorities slapped house arrests on BJP MPs, MLAs, and chief N Ramchander Rao. ‘This is an outrageous strike at democracy’s core,’ Reddy fumed.
Leaders barred from supporting their peer? Reddy sees it as an ’emergency redux,’ born of Congress’s fear over BJP’s surging popularity. Unable to stomach electoral realities, they’re plotting to silence dissent, he charged.
The minister dissected the bias: spurious claims against the MLA, Congress goons crashing gates with vehicles, all pointing to eroded public safety. ‘Equal justice under law is a myth here; police are Congress’s private army,’ Reddy declared.
Yet, BJP stands tall. ‘Pressures won’t silence us; we’ll escalate on citizen woes,’ he promised. Reddy urged an end to vendetta arrests and a return to democratic ethos, cautioning mass uprising otherwise.
Bandi Sanjay Kumar piled on, decrying Rao’s arrest en route to violence-hit families. ‘Ignore perpetrators, target opposition—that’s Congress’s game with AIMIM. It’s police tyranny, not governance.’
Sanjay exhorted activists to gear up, support victims, and unmask the regime’s partiality, framing this as a defining clash for Telangana’s democratic soul.
