BJP seeks judicial probe into results fiasco

Patancheru: BJP Medchal-Malkajgiri district president Madhavaram Kantha Rao said that the Education Minister Jagadish Reddy was responsible for the deaths of Inter students who committed suicides due to the mistakes committed by the Inter Board.

He was arrested by Kukatpally police while he was on his way to participate in indefinite hunger strike by BJP state president Dr K Lakshman at BJP office, Nampally on Monday.

Speaking after he was arrested by police, he demanded the state government to dismiss the education minister Jagadish Reddy for student deaths and take stringent against the Inter Board officials who have finalized the tender in favour of Globerina, the firm which was assigned with publishing Inter results.

He condemned the state government for its attempts to suppress the agitation using illegal detentions and arrests. It demonstrates the state government's impatience and intolerance against any criticism against it, he added.
