'Our day shall come again', BRS leader KTR tells Telangana DGP

BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao challenges Telangana police actions, vows to review administration and defend democratic rights

"Our day shall come again, and I promise you, every action will be reviewed. - K.T. Rama Rao"

Hyderabad, July 17

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T.

Rama Rao on Thursday issued a sharp message to the Director General of Police (DGP), stating that the people of Telangana are closely watching the "excesses" of the current administration. Rama Rao also told the state police chief that the days of BRS will come again and promised to review every action of the administration.

In a post on social media platform X, KTR tagged the state police chief and said, "Telangana people are observing all the excesses of the administration and the terrible precedents being set. Please remember no one is going to remain in the Govt forever. Our day shall come again, and I promise you, every action will be reviewed."

"We have full faith in the judiciary and will continue to fight and defend our democratic rights," he added.

KTR was reacting to a post by former director of digital media Konatham Dileep about the arrest of party activist Shashidhar Goud.

Dileep wrote that on Wednesday evening, when Shashidhar Goud was about to be released from Karimnagar jail, a police team from Ramagundam arrived to arrest him again. However, seeing many people waiting outside the jail for Shashidhar, they turned back.

"But this morning, the Ramagundam police arrested Shashi again from Karimnagar jail in another illegal case. For merely retweeting tweets posted on the BRS party handle, this government has been filing consecutive cases, keeping him in jail for 16 days, and harassing him," wrote Dileep.

He stated that the retweeted tweet contained only political criticism. There was no obscenity or falsehood in it. "Even in military dictatorships, such oppression would not exist! But the Telangana Congress government is depriving people of their civil rights and freedom of expression," he wrote.

KTR had earlier slammed the Revanth Reddy government for the arrest of Shashidhar Goud for retweeting a social media post. The BRS leader stated that Revanth Reddy's rule reminds people of the emergency imposed on the country in 1975.

While I don't support BRS, this arrest does seem excessive. Freedom of speech is fundamental right. Government should focus on development rather than political vendetta.

KTR talking about democracy? 😂 Where was this concern when BRS was in power? Both parties are same. We need better alternatives in Telangana politics.

As a law student, this case worries me. If retweeting becomes grounds for arrest, none of us are safe. Judiciary must intervene to protect constitutional rights.

Both BRS and Congress playing dirty politics while common people suffer. When will leaders focus on real issues like unemployment and inflation?

The way police handled this case is shameful. Coming to arrest when he's about to be released? This is harassment, not law enforcement. DGP should answer for this.

As an outsider living in Hyderabad, this political drama worries me. Investors need stable governance, not these political games. Hope Telangana doesn't lose its development momentum.
