Hyderabad: MP Komatireddy put under house arrest

In a bid to foil 'Chalo Secretariat' called by the Congress party over spike in the power bills, the police house arrested MP Komatireddy Venkatreddy around 6 am on Thursday morning.

The police also tightened the security at residences of CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka and senior Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao.

Speaking to the media, Komatireddy said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is running a dictatorial rule in Telangana. The CM had asked the people not to pay rents due to the lockdown and is now charging electric bills at higher slab rates, reddy said. He also questioned the government as to how could a person who did not find work in the last three months due to the lockdown pay the power bills.

He also wondered that the government is arresting the leaders when they are trying to fight on public issues.

On the other hand, the BJP leaders Lakshman, MLA Raja Singh, Ramchandra Rao called for Pragati Bhavan lay siege on June 12 after the government denied appointment to the party to discuss over public issues.
