Kothagudem: Former MLA Vanama Venkateswara Rao alleged that Congress party has kidnapped an elected BRS corporator Guguloth Rambabu of 32nd division of Kothagudem Municipal Corporation.

Venkateswara Rao along with corporator’s wife Nagamani and BRS cadres staged a dharna during late evening hours at the residence of Rambabu demanding his immediate release. If Rambabu was not released forthwith the BRS would stage serious protests across the district, he warned.

The ruling Congress party was engaging in unethical acts to gain support of the people in Kothagudem Municipal Corporation. It was not right to kidnap the corporator who got elected with the voters’ blessings, he noted.

BRS MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra stated that Congress party with the help of the police took away the corporator forcibly as it required support of a few more corporators to win the mayor post.
