'Is Chengicherla in Pakistan?' BJP slams Congress on Telangana MLA's house arrest

BJP MLA T Raja Singh on Thursday claimed that he was put under house arrest while he was en route to Telangana’s Chengicherla to visit some people who were allegedly attacked by a group during Holi celebrations. Condemning his house arrest, BJP MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar took a dig at the Congress-led state government and asked “Is Chengicherla in Pakistan?”.

Besides, Bandi Sanjay Kumar claimed that a case was filed against him and other BJP workers for visiting Chengicherla and meeting “Hindu victims”.Â

Condemning T Raja Singh’s house arrest, Bandi Sanjay Kumar wrote on X, “Anyone who tried to stop him has only seen a downfall.  If not today, he will go tomorrow or someday. How many days will you stop him.? Is Chengicherla in Pakistan.? (sic)”.

He also lashed out at the Congress-led Telangana government and said the party stops Hindus and files cases against them. “Congress govt in Telangana will stop Hindus, file cases against Hindus, obstruct leaders visiting victims & not act on Rohingya mafia. We have seen checkposts to protect poor but weird Congress that checkposts are setup to obstruct leaders from visiting poor,” he said in a tweet.

He also urged the Congress government to withdraw all cases filed against BJP leaders in Telangana.Â

According to BJP, several Hindu women were attacked during midnight in the Chengicherla village of the Medchal constituency, when they were celebrating Holi.

“While the women were celebrating Holi according to custom, some fanatics from other states clashed with the women and attacked them. They abused women and stoned them en masse. Many people were injured in this incident,” said Union Minister G Kishan Reddy.

He had also claimed that pregnant women, among others, suffered severe head injuries.
