In contrast, he shared another photograph from Warangal where an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) participated in a birthday celebration for Minister Konda Surekha organised by the Congress leaders. The celebration, which took place on a busy road, involved cake cutting and the bursting of firecrackers which reportedly injured four civilians, who were later taken to MGM Hospital for treatment.

The Sircilla MLA questioned the apparent disparity in police actions, asking DGP Jithender whether the service rules had changed recently. “Please do let us know, as I am demanding answers as a legislator,” he said.

Telltale signs of the state of affairs in Telangana!!
