Chalo Raj Bhavan turns violent

The ‘Chalo Raj Bhavan’ call by the Congress on Thursday turned violent as the police resorted to lathi-charge to prevent the Congress workers from going towards Raj Bhavan and the angry cadre set a two-wheeler on fire and, getting atop the RTC buses, they raised slogans against the Modi government.

Police arrested all the senior leaders including TPCC president, A. Revanth Reddy; CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka; MLAs T. Jayaprakash Reddy, Sreedhar Babu and senior leaders J. Geetha Reddy, and Renuka Chowdhury among others. They were shifted to different police stations.

The Chalo Raj Bhavan was called to protest against the ‘harassment’ of Rahul Gandhi in the name of questioning by the Enforcement Directorate.
