Rahul likely to visit arrested NSUI activists in jail

The proposed visit of All India Congress Committee (AICC) leader Rahul Gandhi to the State is intensifying political heat. Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) leaders visited the Chanchalguda jail and submitted a memorandum to officials, seeking permission for him to meet the arrested NSUI activists there.

The Vice-Chancellor of Osmania University rejected permission for Mr Gandhi’s visit to the campus and the same was communicated to the Congress leaders. Furious, the NSUI activists led by B. Venkat held a protest on Sunday. They were arrested and later sent to Chanchalguda jail.

On Monday, after the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting, a team of leaders led by TPCC president A. Revenath Reddy went to the Chanchalguda jail. They presented a requisition letter to jail superintendent Shiva Kumar, seeking permission for Mr Gandhi to meet the arrested NSUI activists on May 7. Party working presidents T. Jayaprakash Reddy, J Geetha Reddy, Anjan Kumar Yadav and AICC secretary Sampath Kumar were among those who accompanied Mr Revanth Reddy.
