Telangana police have placed Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) deputy leader T. Harish Rao and other party members under house arrest. This action was taken to prevent them from visiting Parigi in Vikarabad district to meet farmers affected by an industrial park project. Former minister Sabitha Indra Reddy and leaders from Ranga Reddy and Vikarabad districts were also placed under house arrest.
Harish Rao expressed his discontent with the detentions, questioning the government’s fear of their peaceful protest plans. BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao criticized the house arrests as illegal and condemned the government’s actions. Several other leaders, including former MLAs and district presidents, have also been detained.
Rama Rao accused the government of forcefully acquiring farmers’ land for an industrial park, disregarding promises made to the public. He denounced the government’s actions as an assault on democracy and criticized its failure to support farmers through promised schemes. The BRS leaders vowed to continue their struggle for the people despite government intimidation.
