BRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao took a jibe at the Congress party’s claims of bringing Indiramma Rajyam in Telangana, saying it implied reviving the “repressive regime of the Emergency era”.
It was the then Congress regime that declared Sircilla, Jagtial and Vemulawada areas as disturbed areas and unleashed repression that destroyed the lives of several youths in the region, he charged as he continued his tirade against the grand old party ahead of the November 30 Assembly elections.
Speaking at a well-attended election meeting in Vemulawada of Rajanna Sircilla district on Sunday, he said lakhs of people were put behind bars during the dark days of Emergency in the country. “Is it what the Congress leaders want to revive in Telangana?” he asked.
