Telangana Youth Congress president Shivsena Reddy has asked the government why 56 youngsters accused in the Secunderabad railway station violence against Agnipath were still in jails even as the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) politicised the death of Rakesh floating TRS flags in his last rites.
“What is the sincerity of this government,” he asked at a press conference here. “On one side you want to reap political benefit by covering Rakesh’s last journey with party flags while on the other hand, you file serious cases against the other accused,” he said targeting the government.
Mr, Shivsena Reddy said it was the responsibility of the government to ensure they come out on bail and asked “If you want to own up Rakesh why are you deserting those lodged in the jail.” He also wanted clarity on who fired the shots at the protesters. Even at the peak of Telangana movement, not a single shot was fired by the police. “Why has such a situation come in Telangana.”
