Mulugu: Tension prevailed for some time after gram panchayat officials tried to remove party flags and banners erected by the BRS party on national highway to commemorate ‘Deeksha Diwas’ on Friday, the day on which founder of Telangana Rashtra Samithi K Chandrashekhar Rao went on a fast-unto-death protest as a final push for the Statehood to Telangana in 2009, across the State with party leaders and activists participating in the ‘deeksha’.
On Friday, the BRS functionaries noticed that the GP officials were removing flags and banners on the national highway and questioned them.
The officials informed that the party had not taken permission to erect banners. A heated argument broke out between the officials and the party leaders.
They argued that when the ruling Congress party workers erect banners the GP officials does not raise objections and when BRS had erected banners to mark the deeksha diwas of their party chief for the sake of statehood, they were raising objections.
The BRS workers raised slogans against the Congress government and demanded it to allow the banners. The police arrived at the spot and tried to control the situation. The matter was resolved after senior GP officials assured that the banners and flags would not be removed.
