New Delhi [India], October 27 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader G V L Narasimha Rao on Tuesday accused the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) government of planting money at the home of a BJP candidate's relative and attacking him.
The Rajya Sabha MP said that the TRS is resorting to these measures fearing a defeat in the by-election from Dubbak constituency.
"The TRS and its leadership have stooped to attacking BJP's Dubbak candidate Raghunandan Rao and his family. They went to the extent of planting money, which was caught by the BJP cadres. We condemn undemocratic, fascist, and frustrated actions of the TRS government in Telangana," Rao told ANI here.
