BRS social media convener Manne Krishank alleged political vendetta after the Congress government filed his 26th police complaint. He questioned biased action, claiming old cases were revived to brand him a "habitual offender" and intimidate opposition voices ahead of local body polls

Hyderabad: BRS social media convener Manne Krishank has alleged political vendetta after the Congress government filed yet another police complaint against him, which is the 26th since the party came to power.

The complaint, lodged at Borabanda Police Station, accuses Krishank of posting provocative comments on social media after the government hastily allocated 2,500 sq.yards of land for a Muslim cemetery in Alkapuri Colony of Jubilee Hills, just 48 hours before the election code was to be announced. However, the land was later taken over by the Defence authorities, claiming ownership.

In his post on X earlier, Krishank accused Congress leader Faheem Qureshi of orchaestrating the land allocations, to cover up his land encroachment in the area. In response to the complaint by the Congress leaders on Tuesday, he said not on him, but a case should be booked against Congress leaders for cheating Muslims of Jubilee Hills.

He questioned whether the move was a political drama to woo Muslim voters in Jubilee Hills. He suspected that the police had acted in a biased manner by reviving old and dismissed cases from the Telangana movement period to brand him a “habitual offender” as part of a larger conspiracy to open a suspect rowdy sheet against him and intimidate opposition voices. “The Congress government is misusing the police machinery to silence criticism,” he said.
