Telangana BJP has accused the government of using the police to crush dissent and Opposition parties with illegal arrests and confinements and asked if the State of Telangana could have been achieved if the then government of united Andhra Pradesh had resorted to similar repressive measures.
Party vice president and former minister D.K. Aruna claimed at a press conference at the party office here on Friday that BJP Kamareddy district president Venkataramana Reddy was arrested by the police for taking out the ‘Chalo Gajwel’ programme without assigning any reason and wanted to know if citizens in Telangana do not have the freedom to move anywhere.
“What is Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao scared about? Does he think using the police force will stop us from taking up protests highlighting his government’s failures? People of Telangana are waiting to teach him a lesson for cheating them all these nine years,” she claimed.
