Hyderabad: The city witnessed an unusual scene when the police towed away the protesting YSRTP President and AP CM”s sister Y S Sharmila Reddy’s car, sitting in the driver’s seat’, as she refused to get down. This was when she along with her party supporters came in a convoy to CM’s Camp office to parade how her party’s campaign vehicle and her car were damaged during her padayatra. However, Sharmila managed to reach proximity to Pragathi Bhavan, following which the police had to stop her by blocking the roads. The melee caused a huge traffic jam in the heart of the city.
She continued to stay in the car along with a few of her supporters.
The police then towed her car using a recovery vehicle and shifted it to SR Nagar police station. The police reportedly used a duplicate key to open the car doors from outside and took her into custody.Speaking to the media, Sharmila said that she wanted to show the vehicles damaged by TRS “goondas” to the Chief Minister. “Why is TRS supremo not expelling the Goondas who vandalized our vehicles and threatened us? When I am being arrested and put under house arrest for a whole day, why is there no action against who attacked us,” she asked.
Meanwhile, the BJP’s official spokesperson K Krishna Saagar Rao alleged that it was the drama played according to the script of the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, in a bid to divert media coverage from his party state unit chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar, by ensuring Sharmila get undue publicity. According to him, her party is a one-woman party and has no roots in the state. She is only playing to the tunes of the ruling party, as the latter is scared of the BJP’s surge.
