KTR warns Congress against physical attacks on BRS activists

Coming down heavily on the post-poll violence unleashed by the Congress party in Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Saturday sounded a warning against any further escalation in the situation.

“If Congress does not stop its goondaism, the people will teach it a lesson,” he said after visiting BRS activist Rakesh in Rahmat Nagar on Saturday to express solidarity after he was assaulted by the Congressmen.

“I condemn the assault on our party worker. Within 24 hours of the Jubilee Hills election



results, Congress is resorting to goondaism,” he said, emphasising that during the 10-year rule of the BRS, which included multiple by-election wins, the party had never engaged in attacks on Congress workers.

“But now, the people of Telangana are witnessing the rowdyism being perpetrated by Congress,” he said.

Holding the Congress responsible for the incident, he said the BRS would protect its workers by all means, and alleged that the Congress had secured victory through “bogus votes, goonda tactics and distribution of money”.
