MLA Harish Rao holds CM, DGP responsible for Law & Order breakdown in Telangana State

At a media briefing held at his residence, former minister Harish Rao today launched a scathing criticism on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of orchestrating political vendettas and causing the collapse of law and order in the State.

Harish Rao stated that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was solely responsible for the breakdown of law and order in Telangana. "It's disgraceful that after contributing to this collapse, he speaks about Hyderabad and Telangana's brand image. Who provided security for MLA Gandhi to carry out attacks? Wasn't it Revanth Reddy and the DGP? Why were the attacks not stopped yesterday? When our MLA was attacked under police protection, where was Revanth's concern for law and order? Why didn't the DGP act? DGP, why didn't you take action? This wasn't just Gandhi's attack-it was orchestrated by Revanth Reddy. Today, we were placed under house arrest. Why wasn't Gandhi placed under house arrest yesterday?" Harish Rao alleged that CM Revanth Reddy and the DGP are responsible for Thursday's attack. After causing the damage, they are now trying to cover it up, he said. "Is there any law and order left in the State? Ten days have passed, and no cases have been filed against those who attacked us in Khammam. When we went to file a complaint, we were arrested, dragged around for hours, and taken into the forests of Mahbubnagar.

"Meanwhile, Arikapudi Gandhi, who attempted murder, was escorted home with full security, along with his followers. While we were denied even water, the attackers were treated to biryani in the police station. Revanth Reddy is the mastermind behind the attack. Under his direction, MLA Kaushik Reddy's house was attacked.
