National General Secretary BJP and Incharge Telangana Tarun Chug strongly condemned the illegal arrest of Union Minister of Culture Tourism and Doner and President of Telangana BJP G Kishan Reddy in Hyderabad today, who has been on a 24 hour fast protesting against the betrayal of the unemployed by the KCR. The BJP has taken all permissions for the fast, and it has been going on peacefully. The fast evoked tremendous response with huge participation of the youth and students who have been simmering with anger against the KCR government which failed to conduct a single exam for recruitment cleanly nor has been able to fill a single job. Obviously frustrated by the huge response to the BJP and unable to digest its success, KCR deployed his police to disrupt the fast.
It is baffling that police used brutal force at the time of the arrest, unmindful of the fact that G Kishan Reddy is a union minister and Z grade protectee. Kishan Reddy fell unconscious, but police were not conscious of it . They used force on him and indiscriminately beat up workers in which many workers, including women, sustained injuries.
It is surprising that in the draconian regime of KCR, even peaceful fasts are disallowed It is evident that KCR is rattled. The way he disrupted the fast is a sign of it The youth and students of Telangana will dislodge this government, and BJP undeterred by the state sponsored atrocities using police as tools will continue to stand by the unemployed.
