Nizamabad: Late night terror for BJP leader

Nizamabad: A disturbing event late at night at the house of Gatla Gangadhar, in-charge of 11th Division BJP Shakti Centre, prompted questions by the local BJP members regarding unethical attempts by the BRS in Nizamabad, ahead of the elections.

Gangadhar alleged that his house was targeted by individuals associated with the BRS party. “The assailants used beer bottles, sticks, rods, and even lethal weapons in their attempt to harm me,” he said.

During this unsettling event, Dan Pal expressed his concern regarding the deteriorating situation in Nizamabad. He accused BRS party leaders, the mayor, and MLA followers of inciting attacks on BJP workers through hooliganism, rather than focusing on the city’s development. Pal vehemently condemned these attacks on BJP workers’ residences and vowed unwavering support for the party’s members. He also criticised the use of rowdy elements in politics and expressed his frustration with the current state of governance in the city.

The incident left Gatla Gangadhar’s family and division residents in a state of panic. Mani, another BJP memberwarned that these attacks had escalated due to fears of defeat in the upcoming MLA elections. Dhan Pal urged that such attacks should not be allowed to recur.
