Opposition claims police excesses during Telangana's 1000‑day celebration

During the public festivities marking a thousand days of Congress rule in Telangana, BJP leaders alleged that law‑enforcement agencies resorted to excessive force against party workers. T.R. Srinivas said that activists were beaten in several locations, including near the Ambedkar statue in Hyderabad, and that the state’s home department detained BJP state president N. Ramachandra Rao in a police station for an entire day. The opposition described the incidents as an assault on democratic rights and called for an immediate inquiry into the alleged police brutality.
