Telangana CM Revanth steps up attack on Rahul Gandhi’s detention; leaders and cadre stage dharnas
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has intensified his criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government following the detention of prominent Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. Speaking at a dharna in Kodangal, Reddy emphasized the Congress party's historical commitment to fighting oppression, drawing parallels between current events and the freedom struggle. He accused the central government of suppressing democratic dissent and failing to address issues surrounding the NEET examination scandal, questioning why discussions were being avoided in Parliament. The Chief Minister highlighted the brutal police crackdown on students protesting against alleged irregularities in the NEET exam, claiming many were injured and some went missing. He lamented the lack of accountability for those responsible for the paper leak while protesters faced harsh treatment. Reddy also underscored the sacrifices made by the Gandhi family for the nation, recalling Sonia Gandhi's refusal of the Prime Minister's post, which he argued demonstrated the party's dedication to democratic values. As protests spread across Telangana, Congress leaders rallied in Hyderabad, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. They accused the BJP of creating a "police raj" and vowed to continue their agitation until justice was served for students affected by the examination scandal. The movement reflects a broader struggle for accountability and the protection of democratic rights in the face of governmental oppression.
