Agnipath: KCR holds Centre responsible for death of Army job aspirant from Warangal
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao late on Friday night expressed grief over the death of Army job aspirant Damodar Rakesh, a native of Warangal district, in the firing by the Railway Protection Force at the Secunderabad railway station on Friday. Rao maintaining silence even after BJP leaders including Union minister G. Kishan Reddy and BJP state president Bandi Sanjay accused the TRS of being behind the violence became a subject of heated debate in party and political circles. Party circles maintained that the violence triggered by BJP leader Nupur Sharma's remarks against Prophet Mohammad followed by the Agnipath scheme proved that Rao was right in cautioning the people against the BJP's 'communal and divisive politics' and Modi government's 'flawed policies'. Party sources said that during his visit to a few states recently, Rao had told the local media that if the BJP was not checked, it would lead to violent incidents which would affect the country's economy, investments resulting in loss of jobs and livelihood not only for Indians living in the country but also those Indians settled abroad for livelihood.
