Security withdrawn to me in spite of court directions: Revanth Reddy

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy has alleged that the State government is not providing him with security in spite of court directions and he being a Member of Parliament and the State president of a national party.

He sought to know from the government on what grounds the security (personal security officers) had been withdrawn to him, Mr. Revanth Reddy said adding that enough security was provided to K. Chandrasekhar Rao when Congress was in power in the past. In an informal chat with newspersons in Gandhi Bhavan here on Friday, he said he was a “people’s a man and Congress workers themselves are my security”.

Stating that he could go anywhere without security, the TPCC chief sought to know whether Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao would visit the campuses of Osmania University and Kakatiya University without security. He also accused the Chief Minister of misusing the police for defeating him in 2018 Assembly elections. He made it clear that he would feel threatened with the government action of withdrawing security.
