Several Congress leaders were detained during a poster release event called ‘Todu Dongalu’ at Charminar in Hyderabad. The event aimed to highlight the alleged political understanding between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Among those taken into custody was PCC campaign committee chairman Madhu Yashki Goud. The Hyderabad DCC chief, Sameer Waliullah, strongly condemned the detention and criticized the behavior of the police officials. He alleged that the police had no right to snatch and tear off their posters and accused them of pleasing their political bosses.
According to the party leaders, the Hyderabad police tried to disrupt the event by claiming a lack of permission. Congress leaders had a heated argument with the police officials and accused them of working as agents of the TRS and AIMIM.
The poster in Urdu was released by AICC (TS) Incharge Manikrao Thakre on Saturday evening. Sameer alleged that MIM President Asaduddin Owaisi and other Majlis leaders were afraid after the Congress decided to give a tough fight in the Old City in the upcoming Assembly elections. He expressed confidence that the party would bring about the necessary change and development in the Old City after coming to power.
