BRS calls for Karimnagar bandh as police probe BJP workers attack on MLA office

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has officially called for a Karimnagar bandh on May 9 following a violent attack on the MLA camp office and the vehicle of Huzurabad MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy. The party leadership is demanding immediate action against the perpetrators, alleging a deep-rooted conspiracy behind the incident that has escalated political tensions in the district.

According to the latest update, the police investigation into the vandalism is currently underway to identify the individuals who stormed the legislator's office. The BRS has announced that the district-wide shutdown is a protest against the "undemocratic" assault on public representatives. Following the ruckus, the police registers case after BJP workers attack MLA office to ensure those responsible are held accountable under the law.

BRS alleges BJP involvement in MLA office attack

Local BRS leaders have raised serious allegations, claiming that the attack was orchestrated by supporters of Union Minister Bandi Sanjay. The party workers pointed out that the BJP corporators and activists involved in the incident reportedly emerged from the residence of Bandi Sanjay before marching toward the MLA camp office.

The incident details suggest that the MLA’s car was significantly damaged during the ruckus, leading to a tense standoff between the two political groups. While a case registered by the local authorities is being processed, the BRS maintains that the police must look into the alleged involvement of high-ranking BJP leaders in planning the assault.

Police investigation and security measures in Karimnagar

Senior officials have issued an official statement confirming that additional forces have been deployed across Karimnagar to prevent further clashes. The police are scanning CCTV footage from the MLA camp office and surrounding areas to verify the identities of those who led the mob.

The call for the Karimnagar bandh coincides with the scheduled visit of BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) to the district. His arrival is expected to further intensify the political atmosphere, as he is likely to meet with local leaders and address the workers regarding the security lapse and the attack on Padi Kaushik Reddy.

Political heat rises ahead of KTR visit

The BRS has urged the trading community, educational institutions, and transport unions to support the Karimnagar bandh to condemn the violence. They argue that such attacks on elected representatives set a dangerous precedent for the state's political culture.

As the police investigation continues, the district administration is on high alert to maintain law and order during the protest. Residents have been advised to stay updated on travel restrictions as the BRS prepares for a massive show of strength during the Karimnagar bandh and KTR’s high-profile visit.
