Telangana Congress Committee Working President Revanth Reddy’s Kodangal segment in Vikarabad district has become a hotbed of all out war between the ruling TRS and the main opposition Congress party. CM K Chandrasekhara Rao has turned special attention here and the TRS leaders have been creating some problem or the other like making police complaints and getting searches made in Revanth’s followers’ houses.
Consequently, Revanth’s followers have also taken a serious, aggressive stand challenging the TRS for a do or die battle. They called for a bandh to protest against the CM KCR’s public meeting in Kodangal. Revanth’s followers have also threatened to obstruct the CM’s meeting by issuing statements locally. Alarmed at the sudden turn of events, the TRS leaders have complained to the election authorities about this issue. The Election Commission has directed the DGP to look into the details and take suitable action on which a report may be sent to the EC as early as possible.
Though the TRS party is making all efforts, it is not able to gain a certain edge in Kodangal considering the huge following that Revanth has personally in the segment. The ruling party has put pressure on Revanth by making complaints and getting searches in the Congress activists’ homes that has met with serious backlash. With the situation turning volatile as of now, the election officials are preparing to take additional steps for ensuring law and order.
Revanth himself squatted on the road amid raising of slogans by his followers when he objected to the police conducting searches and harassing women members of Congress activists’ families. The election war reached a flash point now with both TRS and Congress cadres challenging each other to gain an upper hand.
