Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Qutbullapur MLA K.P. Vivekanand be debarred from contesting Telangana Assembly Elections-2023 and questioned the delay by the police in filing a case against the MLA following his assault of the party’s candidate Kuna Srisailam Goud during a ‘live’ television debate on Wednesday night.
Karimnagar MP and national general secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar accused a section of police of playing a partisan role and warned them of facing the music when the next government is formed by the BJP. “What more evidence do they want after the entire country has seen the arrogance of the power drunk BRS MLA? Many cases were filed against us and we were put behind bars on flimsy grounds,” he charged.
The BJP leader further alleged that a few retired police officers were continuing to call the shots and targeting the party even while helping in money distribution to benefit the ruling party. “We will also meet the Election Commission soon to file a complaint against the MLA and about the police inaction,” he told the media after meeting Mr. Goud at his residence.
