KTR questions Congress govt’s inaction, urges to maintain law and order

BRS working president KT Rama Rao said the law and order in Telangana has been a major concern for the past a few months

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress party for its handling of law and order in Telangana, citing concerns raised by senior Congress leader and MLC T Jeevan Reddy. He said Jeevan Reddy had only echoed what the rest of the State has been saying for the last a few months.

MLC Jeevan Reddy’s close aide and former MPTC Maru Gangareddy aged 58, was brutally murdered at Jabithapur in Jagtial district. Condemning the murder, Jeevan Reddy staged a protest with his supporters near the old bus stand in Jagtial, expressing his outrage over the lack of protection for Congress leaders, and deteriorating law and order condition in the State.

In response to Jeevan Reddy’s remarks, Rama Rao pointed out the deteriorating law and order situation in the State under the Congress government. He said the law and order in Telangana has been a major concern for the past a few months. He reminded that without a full-time Home Minister and more importantly with police being kept busy in political affairs, law enforcement is crippled in the State.

He hoped that wisdom prevails in political bosses of the Congress government and urged that competent police officers be given the necessary freedom to focus on their core responsibility of ensuring peace, safety and harmony in the State.
