BRS district president Balka Suman expressed anger against the police for preventing him from accompanying the party’s councillors.
He, along with Asifabad MLA Kova Lakshmi, staged a sit-in on the road protesting the stance of police officials discharging duties at the Kyathanpalli municipality during a special meeting held to elect the chairperson of the civic body on
Tuesday.
Suman alleged that the police were acting as puppets of the Congress, which was trying to capture the chairperson post in the Kyathanpalli municipality despite not securing a majority.
He accused them of becoming slaves of Labour Minister Dr G Vivek and faulted Bellampalli ACP Ravi Kumar and other police officials for stopping BRS leaders from entering the premises of the municipal office.
