Despite there being no protocol, the Congress leader was calling the shots in the constituency. Interestingly, 10 days back, the Congress leader had released water to Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme canal.

Condemning the Congress leader’s attitude, BRS leaders, led by local MLA Vijayudu, are staging dharna and demanding justice.
