Trouble at Gajwel MLA Camp Office, BRS Accuses Congress of Vandalism

Hyderabad: BRS on Saturday demanded immediate and strict action against vandalism of MLA office in Gajwel, which is the camp office of Gajwel legislator and BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao.

Trouble broke out when a group of Congress workers and local party leaders marched to the camp office, forced their way inside and tried to install a portrait of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in the office room. BRS claimed that Congress employees committed vandalism, damaging door and window glass as well as furniture in the office.

BRS alleged that the Congress workers who vandalized the office were led by district Congress committee president Tumukunta Akansha Reddy. BRS also called for Gajwel bandh on Monday to protest the incident.

Several BRS leaders, including former ministers, current and past MPs, legislators and others, openly condemned the vandalism at the MLA camp office. The party said it has filed a police complaint regarding the incident and demanded strict action against anyone who attacked the MLA’s office in Gajwel.

Senior BRS leader T. Harish Rao condemned the attack on the MLA camp office and alleged that the vandalism was done by following direct instructions of Revanth Reddy. Harish Rao said, “Congress leaders in Telangana are behaving like criminal gangs. Today’s attack on Gajwel MLA camp office is an attack on democracy. Attacks on opposition leaders, social activists and media have become commonplace and routine under the Congress government.”

He said, “The BRS will now be intimidated by intimidation tactics and we will continue to highlight the failures of the Congress government and continue our fight on behalf of the people on issues of public importance.”
