All India Congress Committee in-charge for Telangana and Member of Parliament from Virudhunagar, Manickam Tagore on Wednesday said Congress victory in Nagarjunasagar by poll is more necessary than ever “to stop Telangana moving towards an autocratic rule.”
“Jana Reddy, the senior-most Congressman in Telangana, a pillar of strength, and the voice of Telangana, should be present in the Assembly. His voice is needed,” he said.
Addressing press persons in Nalgonda town, along with Pradesh Congress Committee president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and Bhongir MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, he said the Congress party perceives the bypoll as an opportunity “to strengthen the real voice of the Opposition and not merely winning an MLA seat.”
‘Local police hand-in-glove with ruling party’
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president and Nalgonda MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has appealed to the Election Commission of India (ECI) to deploy Central forces in Nagarjunasagar bypoll as the “local police was hand-in-glove with the ruling party and turning a blind eye to rampant distribution of money and liquor to influence voters”.
“The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Telangana, district officials and the Returning Officer too, are silent and not taking action despite the submission of evidence on money and liquor distribution and intimidation of voters by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS),” Mr. Reddy alleged.
