Arrest of R Krishnaiah strongly condemned

Vidyanagar: BC Student Association state executive president Pagilla Satish has condemned the arrest of BC Welfare Association national leader R Krishnaiah by the state police during a protest held as part of RTC strike on Saturday. Satish was prevented by police from protesting here on Sunday, in protest against the arrest of their leader.

Speaking to media, Satish denounced the repressive measures being taken by the CM KCR to suppress the people's voice as well as dictatorial attitude of the CM. It was unfortunate that CM KCR remained indifferent although RTC employees had been on the strike for the past 37 days, he said.

condemning the repressive actions of the state government, he said that the arrests and detentions cannot stop the agitation. Terming the arrest of their leader as undemocratic, he said that it was akin to arresting two crore BCs living in the state. He warned of serious consequences if the state continued its repressive actions.
