BJP blames the Telangana government for conspiring to defame the central government. The protests started around 8.00 am in the morning. Three trains, two rail engines and several food stalls on the station premises were set on fire. In addition to that the protesters vandalized railway property on a large scale.
G. Kishan Reddy Comments
According to Telangana Today, The Union Tourism Minister, MP G Kishan Reddy (BJP) blames the Telangana state government for the protests on Friday against the ‘Agnipath’ scheme.
He alleged that the state government failed to control the protesters. In addition to that, the state police were just watching the protesters as mute spectators.
While addressing media persons in New Delhi, he alleged that the State Police was witnessing the rampage and destruction like mute spectators. It was a planned attack, he charged.
Blunder of Kishan Reddy
However, speaking hastily, in a bid to blame the Telangana state government, Mr. Kishan Reddy said the Railway Protection Force (RPF) which was present at the station was meant to only protect the railway properties, but “it is State police, which had to intervene in time and control the violence”.
The youth who are aspirants of Armed Forces have been protesting since Friday morning. The job aspirants staged protests, raised slogans against the BJP-led Central Government and demanded abolishment of the Agnipath scheme.
Bandi Sanjay
Meanwhile, the State BJP president Bandi Sanjay alleged that the violence at Secunderabad railway station was conspired by the ruling TRS party in association with AIMIM and Congress.
Addressing media persons on Friday, Bandi Sanjay said “Violence at Congress party’s Chalo Raj Bhavan and at Secunderabad station took place with Telangana Government’s support.”
Furthermore, he said the Telangana Government was deliberately defaming the Central Government. “This is an attack executed by the State Government as many persons sporting masks triggered violence at the Secunderabad station.
Need for Bulldozer government
The State intelligence had utterly failed,” Bandi Sanjay claimed. Youth were being misguided on the Agnipath scheme. Through the scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to infuse confidence and inculcate discipline among the youth, he said.
“It is the State Government, which is promoting destruction and that’s the reason bulldozer government should come to power in Telangana as well.”
