Former minister and Siddipet MLA Harish Rao today strongly condemned the registration of a criminal case against Huzurabad MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Rao said, "Was it a mistake for Kaushik Reddy to bring the problems of the people to the notice of the ZP meeting? Is it public administration to file illegal cases against voices that question and shut them down? Under the Congress rule, even the people's representatives cannot question the government. The BRS is not afraid of such threats. We will deal with retaliatory actions and illegal cases legally, and continue to fight on behalf of the people."
A case was registered today in the Karimnagar One Town police station against MLA Kaushik Reddy for allegedly obstructing the duties of officials, including the Collector, at the Karimnagar Zilla Parishad meeting on Tuesday. The case was registered under sections 221 and 126(2) of the BNS. The police said that the action was taken on the complaint of the Zilla Parishad officials.
