HANAMKONDA: TPCC president A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday demanded the Warangal Commissioner of Police (CP) to register a case against Government Chief Whip and Warangal West MLA Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar and his loyalists for the brutal attack on NSUI leader and Hanamkonda Congress vice-president Thota Pavan on Monday.

Revanth, after visiting Pavan in a private hospital where he is under treatment, gave a call for state-wide protests by Congress workers. He asked them to burn effigies of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and submit memoranda to the Ambedkar statues across the State, denouncing the physical attacks by BRS workers.

Speaking to the media at the hospital, Revanth alleged that Vinay Bhaskar and his “ganja batch” were responsible for the attack and demanded their immediate arrest.Later he met Warangal CP AV Ranganath with former Union minister Balaram Naik and former MP Sircilla Rajaiah and lodged a complaint against the MLA and his “ganja batch.”

Revanth said that for the last nine years, Vinay Bhaskar had been looting the people in the constituency. “Unsettled by the success of Haath Se Haath Jodo Yatra in the constituency, the MLA and his gang conspired to eliminate Pavan. That’s why they singled him out and attacked him mercilessly,” he said.

Pavan is out of danger but has sustained very critical injuries, the TPCC chief said. He said it was shameful that the police were not upholding the law and instead were protecting the interests of BRS workers, for which they would have to pay a price when Congress comes to power. “The attack was not on Pavan but on the Congress. It is on Revanth Reddy’s yatra,” he said.
