Hyderabad, Aug 17 (UNI) Miscreants, believed to be workers of the ruling Congress, attacked and vandalised the office of BRS legislator and former Minister T Harish Rao in Siddipet town, about 100 km from here, early on Saturday.
Tension escalated in Siddipet town as the intruders broke the lights and furniture in the camp office and Harish Rao described the attack as an “alarming display of lawlessness”.
Breaking locks and vandalizing property in such manner is not only undemocratic but also raises serious concerns, he said.
The police, rather than intervening to prevent this attack, seemingly protected the perpetrators. If an MLA’s residence can be targeted so brazenly, what assurance do citizens have about their own safety, Harish questioned.
The destruction of government property in the presence of police is utterly unacceptable and the @TelanganaDGP garu to take immediate action against this shocking incident and to ensure that such lawlessness is not tolerated, he tweeted.
Taking to social media platform ‘X’, BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) termed the attack as an act of “cowardice” and said Telangana was now witnessing acts of revenge and vendetta in the Congress rule.
The State was away from such revenge politics for over a decade, but now the Congress government, with the help of police, was attempting to bring violence into politics, he charged.
He said that people were watching “third rate” politics of the Congress.
While the party’s leader Rahul Gandhi was preaching “Mohabbat ki Dukaan”, his party was preaching the concept of “Nafrat ki Dukaan” and encouraging violence, KTR twitter.
