Congress leaders ‘raiding’ legal properties of BRS leaders: Praveen Kumar

HYDERABAD

General secretary of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former IPS officer R.S. Praveen Kumar has alleged that Congress leaders led by MPs Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy and Mallu Ravi, MLCs Addanki Dayakar and Balmuri Venkat have raided the private property belonging to T. Harish Rao, and the Director General of Police remained a mute spectator.

The Congress leaders were sent with police security to raid the farm fields and private properties of Mr. Harish Rao. In the past too, the police had escorted defected MLA Arekapudi Gandhi to attack BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy, Mr. Praveen Kumar said and sought to know whether they (BRS leaders) would be allowed to raid the private properties of the Chief Minister or of his brothers.

Alleging that thoguh Tandur MLA B. Manohar Reddy was involved in land deals, another ruling party MLA had encroached ₹300 crore worth land at Tummalur and a dalit family was attacked after an inter-caste marriage in Gadwal Assembly Constituency — part of Mr. Mallu Ravi’s Nagarkurnool Parliamentary Constituency, the police acted like a mute spectator all the while.

Those who had no role in the movement for statehood to Telangana, including Mr. Mallu Ravi and Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy, were questioning those who had fought for the State and raided their legal properties, Mr. Praveen Kumar said.
