Telangana Congress continued to raise the heat on Osmania University for denying permission to Rahul Gandhi’s proposed visit to the campus with the National Students Union of India (NSUI) staging protests at the Vice-Chancellor’s office while a group of students tried to gherao the Ministers’ Quarters.
TPCC working president and Sangareddy MLA T. Jayaprakash Reddy was arrested even as he expressed his wish to go and meet the NSUI activists who had been arrested on campus.
NSUI activists led by president Venkat Balmoor stormed into the OU administrative building and tried to barge into the locked Vice-Chancellor’s office. They broke glass panes of the door, raising slogans against the Vice-Chancellor and the government, alleging that the V-C was acting at the behest of the Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao.
