Telangana BJP leader got arrested

Hyderabad, July 17: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Legislature Party leader, Kishan Reddy on Tuesday was arrested by police at Himayat Nagar and was taken to Kanchanbagh police station.

Following his arrest, Kishan Reddy took to Twitter to lash out at Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao over his dictatorial mindset for ordering an arrest of MLAs.

The police stated that the move was taken as a preventive action to avoid the BJP leaders from mobbing the Chief Minister’s camp office, Pragathi Bhavan. The state unit party president, K Laxman and party MLC Ramchandra Rao were also arrested and taken away to different police stations.

The TBJP leaders were planning to meet at the BJLP office in Assembly to hold discussions to revoke the ban on Swamy Paripurananda.

The tyrannical & dictatorial mindset of KCR is causing huge damage to the democratic fabric of our state. As a head of govt CM is bound to meet MLAs and MLCs instead, CM here is ordering an arrest of MLAs making a mockery of democracy.1/2 pic.twitter.com/6iYeWvwTcK
