Party leaders also seek permission for Bandi Sanjay’s proposed walkathon
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday has demanded the arrest of TRS Malkajgiri MLA M. Hanumantha Rao and registering a case under the PD Act against him, if need be, for attacking party corporator Shravan during the Independence Day celebrations on Sunday. Top leaders N. Manohar Reddy, N. Ramchander Rao and others met Director General of Police M. Mahender Reddy and complained to him about the physical assault on the corporator and also lady activists by the MLA and his followers. “It is matter of great shame that when the country was celebrating the Independence Day, the TRS MLA chose to resort to rowdy behaviour and even abused our party president in most deplorable terms for no reason,” said Mr. Rao. The former MLC accused the police of playing a partisan role in this episode in taking timely action and not resorting to arrests so far. “It is not for the first time we have witnessed this kind of attitude as the police have been in foisting false cases and illegal arrests against the Opposition in the last few years as it has become a pawn to the ruling TRS party,” he charged.More Related News
