BRS attacks Congress government over law and order after Hafeezpet Home Guard incident

The BRS criticised the Congress government over Telangana’s law and order situation following an alleged assault by a Home Guard at Hafeezpet Railway Station. BRS working president K T Rama Rao accused the police of overreach and criticised their handling of political opponents.

Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has come down heavily on the Congress government over the deteriorating law and order situation in the State, particularly the overzealous action of the police against common people and on what it described as a partisan approach towards political leaders from opposition parties.

The act of a Cyberabad police home guard, deputed on duty at Hafeezpet Railway station, dragging a woman by her hair on Friday night drew severe criticism from various sections. Many condemned the overzealous action of the police and demanded stern action against those responsible.

Sharing the video clip on X, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said, “To everyone who is aghast over the viral video of a woman being dragged by Telangana Police, let me tell you one thing. Unfortunately, today, Telangana Police is not a force that common people recognise anymore. Impunity and arrogance are now their trademark.”

He further slammed the Telangana Police, saying, “They will be in a deep slumber for nine days if a Union Minister’s son is accused in POCSO. They will be on mute if an MP’s son rams down and kills a poor girl from Odisha. They will escort goons to attack a former CM with special rope parties. They will assault, pull hair and sarees of female MLAs. They will stop a little girl from going to school and terrorise her.”

Rama Rao charged that for the public and political opponents, “they are no less than street-side goons in uniforms”.

“Every day, there would be broad daylight murders, law and order would be in the gutters, but they would be busy playing political games,” the BRS working president charged.

“Dear honest brothers and sisters of Telangana Police, is this what you signed up for?” Rama Rao asked.
