Congress workers attack BRS legislator Harish Rao’s office in Siddipet

Miscreants, believed to be workers of the ruling Congress, attacked and vandalised the office of BRS legislator T Harish Rao in Siddipet town, about 100 km from here, early on Saturday. The intruders were heard raising slogans ‘Jai Congress’, making it clear that they were Congress party workers.

Surprisingly, a dozen of them even indulged in vandalism while policemen were nowhere to be seen, belying the claims of the police department to have reduced the response time to minimum possible time.

Tension escalated in Siddipet town as the intruders broke the lights and furniture in the camp office and Harish Rao described the attack as an



“alarming display of lawlessness”. The suspected Congress workers broke the locks and vandalised the property, raising concern over the ineffectiveness of the police department.

“The police, rather than intervening to prevent this attack, seemingly protected the perpetrators. If an MLA’s residence can be targeted so brazenly, what assurance do citizens have about their own safety? The destruction of government property in the presence of police is utterly unacceptable,” Harish Rao said in a post on X on Saturday morning.

He urged the police to take immediate action against the culprits and ensure that such “lawlessness is not tolerated”.
