Ponnala's emotional drama over Telengana Police ill treatment
Ponnala\'s Emotional Drama Over Telengana Police Ill Treatment. At last the congress parties both in Telangana and AP have woken up from their slumber after electoral debacles of 2014.
At last the congress parties both in Telangana and AP have woken up from their slumber after electoral debacles of 2014. Both the pradesh congress committee are taking to streets to galvanize public opinion against ruling parties which had rudely shocked them. Congress had scored sub zero in AP and just saving grace in Telangana that too after making Telengana possible.

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Chief and former minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah hurt his shoulder and almost left in tears as police roughed up him and his party colleagues for trying to take up a rally to Raj Bhavan protesting the proposed shifting of Chest hospital to facilitate construction of state secretariat.
The police arrested all the Congress leaders when they reached Nampally on their way to Rajbhavan and shifted them to Goshamahal police station.
"We have got permission from the Rajbhavan to meet Governor and we are supposed to submit a memorandum to the governor. How can the police stop us midway?
"Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is acting like a Hitler and he should remember that many such leaders have gone down in the history," said an angry City Congress chief Danam Nagender speaking to media at the Goshamahal.
The TPCC chief who was hurt during the struggle with the police sat down on Dharna at the Police station and at one stage shed tears expressing displeasure over the police attitude. "The Congress has fulfilled the dreams of crores of Telangana knowing very well that it will fare badly in AP. This is not the way to treat us," he rued adding that District units of TPCC will organize Dharnas against shifting of Chest hospital on Sunday.
Former PCC Chief D Srinivas said "We have been urging the government to look into important issues concerning the problems of the common man rather than focusing on shifting secretariat and building skyscrapers."
Meanwhile in Andhra Pradesh, the APCC after a slumber for almost 8 months since its debacle in the general elections has launched the "One crore signatures campaign" against the alleged failure of BJP and its ally TDP in fulfilling the promises made by both the parties at the time of division of the state and after.
The APCC Chief and former minister N Raghuveera Reddy also released a book written by union minister M Venkaiah Naidu on the role of BJP in the division of the state, in an effort to nail his assurances to AP and his volte face, in the wake of NDA government’s refusal to accord special status to residual AP.
