HYDERABAD
General secretary of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former IPS officer R.S. Praveen Kumar has alleged that the maternal uncle of Congress MLA from Wanaparthy, T. Megha Reddy, has obstructed the entry of a SC (Madiga) youth into a temple at Mangampally and said it is discrimination in the name of caste.
In a statement, Mr. Praveen Kumar said on Tuesday that it would probably be a crime if somebody enters a temple constructed on a private land, but the one built at Mangampally was on gram panchayat land. He sought to know from the MLA whether it was not discrimination, and in case he has any moral value, he should go to Pedda Mandadi police station and lodge a complaint against his maternal uncle.
He demanded that a case be registered against the MLA’s maternal uncle and he be arrested, and if not, the Congress leaders would not be allowed to enter the SC habitations in the constituency. He asked the Chief Minister to instruct the police to take action against over the issue.
