BJP Telangana president Bandi Sanjay Kumar lamented that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government led by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is taking a revenge of sorts on the oustees of the Gouravelli project by unleashing violence on them despite their sacrifices.
Addressing a press conference, Sanjay condemned the indiscriminate police attack on the protesting villagers of Gudatipalli seeking compensation for their lands acquired for Gouravelli-Gandipalli project.
Criticizing the ‘authoritarian’ TRS regime, Sanjay questioned the attack on women, children and elders who only asked for compensation they are legally entitled for. He also stated that TRS leaders were incited against farmers of the village, while the police dragged away the oustees.
Sanjay said KCR called the displaced people gods and promised that their names will be immortalized as long as the project stands, but he is murdering the democracy by attacking them. He called KCR blood-thirsty, for being so harsh on those who sacrificed for the sake of the project.
The Karimnagar MP demanded that the police forces from Gudatipalle, Husnabad be withdrawn immediately or the government must own responsibility for the dire consequences.
