Congress activists hurl tomatoes on BRS MLA Kaushik Reddy

Hyderabad: Congress workers hurled tomatoes at BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy and other BRS leaders during grama sabha that was organized in Kamalapur village in Huzurabad Assembly constituency on Friday to receive applications to enroll for availing welfare schemes to be implemented from January 26. Enraged over Reddy’s remarks accusing the Congress government of failing to implement welfare schemes, a group of Congress workers hurled tomatoes and chairs on Reddy. In response, Reddy asked, “Is this the Congress leaders’ behavior for questioning the State government’s failure to implement welfare schemes and failing to allot houses for the eligible candidates?” His gunmen and BRS leaders came to his rescue when tomatoes were hurled on him. When the police tried to prevent them from hurling tomatoes and chairs, the Congress leaders took strong exception to Reddy’s remarks and asked him to mend his ways.
