Not only the voices of those questioning the land auction were being suppressed, but those who support them were also being attacked, the CPI (M) said.

The communist party claimed that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy imposed an undeclared emergency in the State in the name of ‘Indrammam Rajyam’, cracking down any protest against the government.

The CPI (M) leaders demanded removal of police force from the university besides canceling the land auction.
