BRS Leader Allegedly Murdered in Wanaparthy District, Party Calls for Immediate Investigation
Hyderabad: A 50-year-old leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) was allegedly murdered by unidentified individuals outside his residence in Laxmipally village, Chinnambavi mandal, Wanaparthy district.
The tragic incident occurred around 1 am on Wednesday, May 22, while Sridhar Reddy, the victim, was sleeping outdoors.
BRS senior leader T Harish Rao condemned the incident and blamed the Congress-led state government for the violence.
“It is horrifying that Sridhar Reddy, BRS leader of Chinnambavi mandal, Laxmipally, was brutally murdered. My deepest condolences to the family. It is unfortunate that two BRS leaders have been killed in Kollapur constituency within five months of the Congress government coming to power, along with attacks on leaders and activists in many places. There is no room for murderous politics in a democracy. The Congress government cannot intimidate the questioning voices with threats. BRS workers, do not lose heart. The party is always with you. We demand an immediate investigation into this politically motivated killing and strict punishment for the accused,” Harish Rao stated in a post on X, tagging @sp_wanaparthy and @TelanganaDGP.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) traveled to Laxmipally village to console the bereaved family of Sridhar Reddy. He was accompanied by former minister V Srinivas Goud, BRS Nagarkurnool Lok Sabha candidate RS Praveen Kumar, and other senior leaders.
