Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The opposition BRS, in an attack mode on the state government and particularly Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy over the issue of setting up a 'Pharma Village' in Kodangal Constituency, on Monday sought to take the issue nationally with party working president K.T. Rama Rao questioning Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi’s silence on the issue and challenging him to speak up on it. Rama Rao was addressing a press conference in New Delhi, during which some of the women from Lagcherla village and nearby hamlets spoke with media persons and narrated how they were attacked, assaulted and even molested by policemen who went to arrest their men for taking part in an alleged attack on the Vikarabad district collector in Lagcherla. The BRS leader said it was time for Rahul Gandhi to speak on the use of brute force on tribal women from Lagcharla and four other hamlets in the Chief Minister’s Kodangal Constituency.
