Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Monday accused Telangana's Congress government of hindering public celebrations after India's Champions Trophy cricket triumph. He shared videos on social media showing police using batons to disperse fans.
According to Reddy, the Congress government failed to support the national cricket team's success, calling the alleged police action 'shameful.' In response, a senior police official stated the crowd was merely dispersed to clear the way for ambulances.
Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy strongly refuted Kishan Reddy's claims, accusing him of spreading false information to discredit the Congress administration. The celebrations spread across the state, underscoring the nation's cricket victory.
