Former BJP MLC N. Ramchander Rao, an accused in the 2016 Rohith Vemula suicide case, has alleged that Congress and Left parties had tried to gain political mileage by linking the death of the University of Hyderabad student to the BJP.
Vemula's suicide was painful, but the attitude of the Congress and Left parties was deplorable, Ramchander Rao said on May 3.
He made these remarks after the Telangana Police filed a closure report in the case before a local court. The police gave a clean chit to the accused, including Mr. Rao.
