More than a week after the unsavoury incidents in Lagacherla in his own constituency of Kodangal, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy finally spoke in public about the village, which has been in the limelight for opposing his plans for a pharma village project there.

The High Court on Wednesday sharply criticized police officials over the arrest of former Kodangal MLA Patnam Narender Reddy in connection with the Lagacherla incident. The court raised serious concerns about the manner in which the arrest was carried out, particularly asking whether the police considered Reddy to be a 'terrorist' given the circumstances of his detention.

At a time when every other political party, civil rights organisations and tribal rights organisations were sending their leaders to Lagacherla to listen to the voices of the farmers, neither the TPCC President nor any other top Congress leader has made an effort to listen to the voices of farmers.

KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress for restricting access to the affected areas, questioning why Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's government was suppressing the truth. "Is Kodangal on the borders of Pakistan or is Lagacherla a turbulent area on the Indo-China border?" he asked.

We extend all support to the affected families in Lagacherla. If the Congress government prevents us from speaking to the families, then it will be made a State issue,” CPM State Secretary T Veerabhadram said here on Monday.

Rama Rao said the Congress government was forcefully acquiring 3,000 acres in Dudyal mandal to establish a Pharma Village, offering Rs.8-10 lakh per acre for land worth Rs.60-70 lakh.

Kodangal's Lagacherla and surrounding villages are witnessing unrest on an unprecented scale for the last six days, but completely oblivious to what is happening and not visiting the area even once, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is busy campaigning for the Congress in Maharashtra.

Tribal representatives, accompanied by MLC Satyavathi Rathore and senior BRS leaders, including RS Praveen, met the Commission Chairman in his chamber. They submitted a representation demanding action against the police personnel involved in the recent physical assault during the arrest of tribals in Lagacherla village.

As the ruling Congress is going hammer and tongs in accusing the involvement of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), a close look at the developments before and after the attack reveal a different narrative.

The farmers worried that the Congress government would put them in jail by filing multiple cases until they handed over lands. However, Rama Rao assured than that the BRS would help get bail by talking to expert lawyers.
