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.
