Demands Chief Minister’s Resignation
Hyderabad, July 11 | The Journalist Post
Former Telangana Minister and BRS Deputy Floor Leader T. Harish Rao on Saturday held the Congress government responsible for the six murders in Shabad, Ranga Reddy district, alleging a complete breakdown of law and order and demanding the resignation of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy from the posts of Chief Minister and Home Minister.
Addressing the media at his Siddipet camp office, Harish Rao alleged that the police failed to promptly arrest the accused in an earlier POCSO case, allowing him to secure anticipatory bail before the incident that claimed six lives, including three children. He claimed that stronger legal provisions and timely police action could have prevented the tragedy.Expressing concern over the surviving differently-abled girl from the affected family, Harish Rao urged the state government to deposit ₹1 crore in her name as a fixed deposit and assume full responsibility for her education, care, and rehabilitation.
The BRS leader also criticized the arrest of party women leaders, including former minister Sabitha Indra Reddy, former minister Satyavathi Rathod, and former MLA Padma Devender Reddy, alleging they were detained while attempting to visit the bereaved family to offer condolences. He demanded their immediate release.
Harish Rao further alleged that law and order had deteriorated under the present administration and accused the government of misusing the police machinery against opposition leaders while failing to act decisively against criminals. He called for the immediate arrest of the accused and sought the strictest punishment under the law.
The Telangana government has stated that the investigation into the Shabad murders is underway and has directed police officials to expedite the probe and ensure justice for the victims’ family.
