TPCC chief demands judicial inquiry

Hyderabad: “We never expected that we will witness such things every day after the formation of Telangana. The new State was not created only for the benefit of Chandrashekar Rao’s family. He is ruthlessly suppressing all kinds of protests by Opposition parties, NGOs, students, JAC and others and implicating all his opponents in false cases. Dalits were tortured and booked in false cases in Nerella while tribal farmers in Khammam were chained and handcuffed after their arrest in a false case,” TPCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy said.

Citing another example, he said Pratap Reddy, who had contested against Chandrashekar Rao from Gajwel in 2014 elections, had come to Osmania University on hearing the news of suicide of Murali Mudiraj as he hailed from the same Dowlapur village of Jagdevpur mandal. But Pratap Reddy was brutally beaten up by the police and implicated in a false case.

Uttam Kumar Reddy Reddy said the TRS government had failed to even fill vacancies that existed in erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh. Stating that students of Osmania University had played a major role in the formation of Telangana State, he warned the KCR government against suppressing the voice of students and jobless youth.

The TPCC chief also urged the mainstream media to do a serious introspection on their approach towards the issue. He alleged that the TRS government had been pressuring the media to suppress and hush up the incident of Murali's suicide and students’ protest. He requested the media organisations to show the truth without any fear or favour.
