The police arrived at BRS incharge Basu Hanumanthu’s residence in Gadwal late in the midnight on Wednesday. Since then, the police have prevented him from stepping out of his house.

Likewise, a few BRS leaders, including former Municipal Chairman BS Keshav and others have also been placed under house arrest.

The BRS leaders fumed at the police highhandedness and questioned the Congress government’s claims on delivering Praja Palana. In a democracy, were opposition leaders not permitted to submit representations on different issues to the Ministers and Chief Minister and raise people’s issues, they asked. EOM
