Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao was arrested by police in Hyderabad on Tuesday when he attempted to travel to Nalgonda district to meet local BJP leader Nagam Varshit Reddy, whose residence was allegedly attacked by Congress workers.
The police placed Ramchander Rao under house arrest to stop him from leaving for Nalgonda. Police personnel were deployed outside his house in Tarnaka since morning.
When the BJP leader came out of the house and
tried to board a vehicle to leave for Nalgonda, police arrested him and shifted him to Gandhi Nagar Police Station.
Ramchander Rao posted on social media that the Congress party arrested him to stop him from visiting the Nalgonda district BJP president after “Congress goons” ransacked his house. “I wanted to visit him to extend my solidarity. Displaying its utter disregard for democracy and the Constitution, the Congress government has arrested me,” he posted on ‘X’.
