Revanth Reddy
Prohibitory orders have been imposed in Kodangal town to prevent any untoward incidents in view of KCR’s election rally.
Earlier, some TRS leaders had lodged a complaint with Telangana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Rajat Kumar, alleging that Revanth was threatening to disturb Rao’s campaign, following which instructions were issued to the police to ensure smooth conduct of the meeting.
Telangana Congress Chief Uttam Kumar Reddy condemned the police action and alleged that the election officials and police were behaving in a “partial manner”.
He also sought to know about the status of the complaint made to the Election Commission against TRS candidate of Kondal segment, Narender Reddy with regard to alleged recovery of cash from him last week.
In his reaction, Chevella MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who had recently joined Congress from TRS, termed the preventive arrest as “murder of democracy,” adding it exposes the panic in TRS ahead of the December 7 Assembly polls.
“People will not tolerate such autocratic behaviour and will give a fitting reply by voting against the ruling party,” Reddy said.
In September, the income tax department had conducted searches at the residences of Revanth Reddy here. Trump administration’s top officials. It was something that was acknowledged by the Indian defence minister in her remarks at the Pentagon. “We deeply ack– nowledge the warmth shown by you, and your responsiveness to India’s sensitivities,” she’d said.

And he explained his reasons once again on Monday. “India has spent many, many years in its non-aligned status. It’s drawn a lot of weapons from Russia. We have a growing strategic confluence of interests with our country and theirs, the two largest democracies in the world.”
In a press statement, the Indian ministry of defence said: “During their meeting, discussions were held on the growing partnership between India and US in the defence sphere. Views were also exchanged on a broad range of bilateral and international issues of mutual interest. The Ministers reviewed ongoing initiatives to further strengthen bilateral defence cooperation, as a key pillar of the strategic partnership between India and USA.”
