Siricilla resembles a volcano ready to erupt anytime. TRS MLA K. Tarakarama Rao was arrested today morning and was kept under house arrest. Thousands of activists were arrested in 10 districts of Telangana. Among the leaders who were arrested were TRS MLAs including Harish Rao, Warangal TRS convenor Peddi Sudarshan Reddy, TRS Ex MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy.
In Hyderabad, the city police showed their over enthusiasm when they attacked the Telangana Bhavan in Jubilee Office. Police then barged into some rooms in Telangana Bhavan and tried to arrest a few party activists. Irate TRS activists severely resisted the police and the police resorted to indiscriminate lathicharge.
TRS spokes person Jagadeeshwar Reddy condemned this attack. He said it was illegal to enter a party office without permission.
Meanwhile, turning a deaf ear to Telangana activists’ plea to make clear YSRCP’s stand on Telangana issue, the party honorary president YS Vijayamma started to Siricilla with a convoy of about 100 cars filled with goondas from Rayalaseema.
He convoy is being provided complete protection by state police. Approximately 5000 armed police are being used to provide escort to YS Vijayamma’s tour.
Telangana activists have already started showing the taste of Telangana anger to YSRCP goondas. Vijayamma’s convoy was met with severe resistance at Alwal, and Thumkunta, where local activists obstructed it.
