Telangana Congress chief detained in Hyderabad for breaching election code

Congress’ Telangana Chief Revanth Reddy was detained by Telangana Police on Tuesday at Gun Park in Hyderabad during the party’s protest against Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao where he alleged that the Chief Minister has been using money and liquor in an effort to win votes.

Reddy was demanding Chandrasekhar Rao to swear that he will not use money and liquor to lure voters in the upcoming Assembly election in the state. “The BRS has used the police against me. We have raised this issue with ECI many times that BRS is using retired officers against Congress. ECI transferred some officers to show off. We will file a written complaint and also go to court,” Reddy said on being detained by police.

He said that today, KCR without coming there, is giving the message that they believe in liquor and money and not their welfare scheme, manifesto or promises.

“I reached the location on time. Even if KCR did not like my invitation, why did they make the police arrest me? He might have the wish to distribute liquor and crores of rupees in the elections. However, the police arrested me and attacked my karyakartas,” he said.
He further alleged that during the Munugode elections, Rs 300 crores of liquor was sold in 20 days. “We did not give money or liquor in Munugode as we do not have that much money. After the Huzurabad and Munugode elections, the world said that liquor and distributing money won,” he added.

Reacting to the allegation that Congress is using money from neighbouring states. He said, “If money is caught, enquire whose money it is. We will form a government on December 9.”
