Setting a five-day deadline to the District Police to arrest the culprits who brutally attacked and injured BJP leader Manikanth Rathod, the former Legislator P. Rajeev has threatened to intensify the agitation across Kalaburagi district.
Likening the ruling Congress dispensation and Kalaburagi district administration to the tyrannical Nizam rule, Mr. Rajeev obliquely referred to Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge as the Nizam.
“The Kalaburagi district administration is in the hands of the Nizam and the people have to decide who the Nizam is,” Mr. Rajeev said.
