TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy today slammed Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on the arrests of his party leaders and activists for organizing protests demanding that the Central government decrease the petrol and diesel prices.
Speaking to media persons at Vidyut Soudha protest program, Revanth Reddy demanded that the State government decrease the charges of electricity and bus charges. When Revanth tried to enter the office of the Vidyut Soudha, he was stopped by the police from entering the office. Enraged over this, the Congress leaders and activists raised slogans against the State government. He said all the Citizens in the country have the right to hold protests in a democratic country like India.
Stating that Chief Minister was agitating on the issue of the procurement of the paddy, he asked the Chief Minister as to why he was arresting the Congress leaders and activists when they were holding the protest programs on the same issue. He alleged that KCR was keeping them under house arrest when they were holding the protest against the Prime Minister. He also alleged that the Congress activists were being kept at police stations and added that the arrested Youth Congress activists were not released even after 24 hours after their arrest. The TPCC chief alleged that both the TRS and BJP were playing games on the issue of the paddy procurement while continuing their secret friendship.
