The Telangana BJP, on Sunday, accused the BRS government of unleashing repression against the civil society by using police force against those protesting the administration for becoming a “real estate company where both public and private land are being usurped for gains and to benefit big businessmen”.
Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region and BJP president G. Kishan Reddy, former Minister Eatala Rajender and others strongly condemned the police lathi-charge against agitating farmers and others against the alleged conversion of industrial land into commercial use in Nirmal town in Adilabad. They charged the police with playing a partisan role and warned of ‘punishments’ if they obey ‘illegal orders’.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has converted TS into a police state where civil rights are curbed, false cases are foisted against political opponents and those protesting illegal orders and indiscriminate arrests are made. The police are blindly obeying the diktats against the law. People are not going to tolerate this and will soon teach a lesson, they told a press conference at the BJP office on Sunday.
