Congress Stages Protests Across Telangana Following Leaders' Detention

Congress party leaders and workers across Telangana held protests following the detention of Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and INDIA bloc MPs in New Delhi. The leaders were arrested while demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. In response, TPCC working president Jagga Reddy began a solidarity deeksha in Sangareddy.

Protesters in various districts, including Minister Ponnam Prabhakar in Husnabad, condemned the detentions as undemocratic. The party is calling for a comprehensive inquiry into electoral roll changes, the restoration of deleted voter names, and greater accountability in the electoral system, alleging that the BJP-led Centre is using police to restrict peaceful democratic dissent.
