Continuing his engagement with Congress supporters for the second day in Telangana, former AICC chief and Parliament member Rahul Gandhi met the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) activists lodged in Chanchalguda jail for protesting at the Osmania University Vice-Chancellor’s office when he was denied permission to interact with them.
Accompanied by TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy, CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka, Komatireddy Venkata Reddy and others, he went to the prison and called on 18 activists of the student wing of the Congress.
The students were booked for allegedly breaking the window panes of the VC’s office door while staging a protest. They also raised slogans against the VC and the government and charged Prof. Ravinder with acting at the behest of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
