The Telangana Congress faced criticism after its remarks on a POCSO case involving Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s son. The post triggered backlash on social media, with users questioning the state government’s handling of law and order and delay in action.

Hyderabad: The Telangana Congress faced sharp criticism from several sections over its comments on the case involving Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s son, Bandi Sai Bageerath, and its remarks on the law and order situation in the country.

Sharing a photograph of the Union Minister and his son on X, the Telangana Congress questioned whether it was the “Home Department or an irresponsible department.”

“The Union Home Ministry is responsible for protecting law and order and ensuring national security. However, a violation has taken place at the residence of the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs,” the Telangana Congress posted.

The party also questioned how Bandi Sanjay could continue in office on moral grounds when a POCSO case had been registered against his son.

The remarks triggered a strong response on social media, with many users pointing out that the Congress government in Telangana had failed to act in the case.

Several users noted that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy also holds the Home portfolio. “Why has the FIR been delayed for three months?” asked X user Basheeruddin.

Another user, Sandeep, said social media posts alone would not ensure justice. He accused the Congress government of focusing on public relations campaigns instead of taking action in a serious case.

Another X user, E Dil, questioned the role of the State Home Department. He alleged that a honey-trap case was registered against the victim and said the accused had still not been arrested despite the POCSO case. He added that people across Telangana were closely watching the Congress government’s response.
