KTR condemns Congress govt’s high-handed behaviour in Allu Arjun’s arrest, calls it ‘Pinnacle of Insecurity’

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao lashed out at the Congress government over the arrest of National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun, terming it the “pinnacle of insecurity” by those in power. He criticised the high-handed behaviour of the government, where the actor was treated as a common criminal despite not being directly responsible for the stampede at Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad recently.

“I totally sympathise with the victims of the stampede, but who is truly at fault here?” he questioned, suggesting that the government should take accountability rather than resort to punitive actions against the actor. He stressed that treating Allu Arjun with disrespect was uncalled for, especially for something he is not directly responsible. He stated that there is always space for respect and dignified conduct in such situations.

He termed Allu Arjun’s arrest as the Congress government’s attempt to divert the public attention from their atrocities against tribal farmer Heeya Naik. “Let’s not forget or forgive,” he asserted.

Drawing a parallel, Rama Rao took a jibe at Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, arguing that by the same “perverse logic,” the Chief Minister himself should be held accountable for causing the death of two innocent people who died in Hyderabad due to the fear psychosis caused by HYDRAA which marked the victims’ houses for demolition.
