Congress leaders react
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president Mallu Ravi said, “If Modi is coming, why are Congress leaders being arrested? When Prime Minister Modi comes to the state, we as the opposition party have the right to bring the needs of the state to Modi's attention. On the one hand, Bharat Rashtra Samiti says that they are against Modi’s politics, and on the other hand they are targeting Congress leaders in the state.”
Why has Singareni called for a bandh today?
Bellaiah Naik, senior spokesperson of the party says, “It is clear that BRS and BJP are working together as a defect. Congress Party has the responsibility to protect the rights of the people. The party is going to fight for that.”
