BRS accuses Congress of kidnapping an elected party corporator in Kothagudem
Former MLA Vanama Venkateswara Rao accused the Congress of kidnapping BRS corporator Guguloth Rambabu from the 32nd division of Kothagudem Municipal Corporation. The incident reportedly occurred while Rambabu was at the former MLA’s residence in Old Paloncha.
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.
The incident was said to have taken place when the corporator was at the former MLA’s residence at old Paloncha to discuss the future course of action of the party following the election results announced on Friday.
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.
