HYDERABAD: A day after BJP and BJYM workers staged protests outside MLC K Kavitha’s residence, several TRS leaders condemned the ‘attack’ on her residence. This took place after BJP leaders from New Delhi alleged that the TRS legislator was involved in the under-investigation ‘Delhi liquor scam’.
Ministers Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Satyavathi Rathod and A Indrakaran Reddy along with MLAs, MLCs and scores of TRS Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) corporators met Kavitha and extended their support. The BJP was trying to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere of Telangana, TRS leaders claimed. Speaking to reporters, Government Whip Balka Suman, Public Undertakings Committee (PUC) chairman A Jeevan Reddy and TSRTC chairman Bajireddy Govardhan alleged that the BJP was trying to bring down elected governments in non-BJP-ruled States.

Endowments Minister A Indrakaran Reddy wanted the BJP to stop pursuing “rowdy politics”. The BJP was trying to disturb the atmosphere in the peaceful Telangana, he said.
