Telangana MP attack: Accused was denied Dalit Bandhu, says Congress leader

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was resorting to falsehood and cheap politics by blaming the Congress for attack on Medak MP Kotha Prabhkar Reddy, who is the BRS’ Dubbak candidate, without revealing details about the accused in the case, alleged Cheruku Srinivas Reddy, Congress candidate for Dubbak constituency.

Speaking to reporters here along with Congress spokesperson Sama Ramamohan Reddy, he wondered how the Chief Minister, within an hour of the incident, concluded that the accused was a Congress sympathiser. This falsehood reflects the frustration of BRS party, he claimed.

Mr. Srinivas Reddy said the accused, Raju, was a YouTuber and there were reports that he was not given Dalit Bandhu assistance for house construction as promised by the government. Moreover, the accused is also annoyed with the government over not getting any benefits meant for journalists, he claimed, furnishing an ID card of the YouTuber.
