Hyderabad: BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank appeared before the Central Crime Station (CCS) on Monday in connection with a case registered under Section 3 of the Police (Incitement to Disaffection) Act, 1922. He demanded that the government stop its alleged vindictive action against the opposition and respond to allegations of corruption against Congress leaders before the people.

Speaking to the media after the questioning, Krishank alleged that the Congress government was trying to suppress voices questioning it by invoking colonial-era laws against opposition leaders. He said the government was threatening Telangana youth with police cases for playing songs associated with the BRS and its president, K Chandrashekhar Rao.

He said he would cooperate with investigations whenever summoned, but stated that cases, arrests, threats to family members and police action at his residence could not silence opposition voices.

On allegations surrounding Enforcement Directorate (ED) searches at the properties of Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy two years ago, he asked why both the Central and State governments were hesitant to make the details public.

He also questioned the government’s silence over the alleged allocation of valuable government land to a shell company linked to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s brother, Kondal Reddy.
