“In the past week alone, we witnessed horrifying incidents that have shocked the people of Telangana,” he said, strongly condemning these incidents and demanding immediate legal action against the accused.

He criticised the Congress-led government, stating that Telangana which had become synonymous with peace and security over the past decade, was now seeing a sharp decline in safety within six months of the new administration.
