BJP Telangana chief Ramchander Rao placed under house arrest

Hyderabad, Nov 14 (UNI) BJP Telangana State President N Ramchander Rao was placed under house arrest at his residence in Tarnaka on Saturday to prevent him from staging a protest against the 'Anti-Bharat Summit' being held in Hyderabad and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visit.
Strongly condemning the police action, the BJP alleged that the Congress government was suppressing the democratic right to protest and resorting to political vendetta against opposition leaders. The party said the proposed protest was against Rahul Gandhi for allegedly failing to fulfil the promises made to the people of Telangana, including the six guarantees.
In a statement, the BJP described the event as an 'Anti-Bharat Summit', alleging that it was being organised to provide a platform for anti-national elements and facilitate the political relaunch of Rahul Gandhi at the expense of taxpayers' money.
The party accused the Revanth Reddy-led government of adopting an autocratic approach by preventing opposition leaders from expressing their views. It said a government that had failed to implement its six guarantees had no moral right to suppress peaceful protests.
The BJP demanded the immediate lifting of Ramchander Rao's house arrest and the unconditional release of all BJP and BJYM workers allegedly detained across the State.
