Controversy Amid Celebrations: Telangana's Political Clash Over Cricket Victory

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy accused the Congress-led Telangana government of obstructing celebrations following India's Champions Trophy cricket victory. Two videos on social media show police dispersing fans, but authorities claim it was to clear roads for ambulances. The Congress refuted Reddy's allegations as misinformation.

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.
