The BJP has condemned the cases filed against its Legislature Party leader A. Maheshwar Reddy and accused the government of trying to suppress the voice of the Opposition for raising questions about the paddy procurement process.
In a statement on Friday, MLAs P. Shankar, Ramarao Patil, P. Harish Babu and Satyanarayana wanted to know if “people’s rule” meant covering up “corruption” and “scams” and asserted that the party would not be cowed down by the cases and will continue to fight for the cause of farmers.
We are ready to go to jail for people; we shall keep pointing out flaws in administration; let government prosecute us as it wishes; it is now charging our members in response rather than dealing with allegations; stated they all after accusing their government of filing more cases against party workers because they had earlier pledged to deal with those who engaged in corrupt practices.
