Similarly, the BRS Students wing had given a call to obstruct the Chief Minister’s visit in protest against the Congress Government’s failure to fulfill the promises made to youth, especially job notifications.

But, Miryalguda II town police had taken a few BRSV wing leaders into custody at 4 am on Sunday.

Municipal Floor Leader Iliyas Khan and BRSV State Secretary Mohd Shoaib slammed the Congress government.

The BRS was staging a protest in a democratic manner but the Congress government was detaining our leaders. Tall claims were being made by the Congress government in protecting the democratic values but in contrast opposition leaders were being targeted and arrested illegally, they charged, according to reports.

In a interesting development at Munugode, the police arrested a Youth Congress leader Jangili Nagaraju early in the morning.

Along with opposition parties leaders, he was picked up and shifted to police station.

After learning that efforts were being made a few youth Congress leaders to stage protest with placards at the Chief Minister’s programmes for failing to induct Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy into the cabinet, the police detained a few youth Congress leaders, reports said.
