Synopsis: RS Praveen Kumar and Sabitha Indra Reddy were initially placed under house arrest ahead of the Yuva Sangrama Sadassu, but later both the leaders managed to move towards the program venue. Praveen Kumar had criticised the house arrest, calling it, “This detention is reminiscent of Indira’s Emergency.”
Ahead of the BRS’ Yuva Sangrama Sadassu program at Saroornagar stadium, the Telangana police placed its general secretary RS Praveen Kumar and former Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy under house arrest.
However, RS Praveen Kumar later shared that he is reaching the programme venue after crossing the police cordon. He added, “The Narsingi police are still pursuing me. No matter how many obstacles they create, we will make the Yuva Sangrama Sadassu a success.”

Praveen Kumar had criticised the house arrest, calling it, “This detention is reminiscent of Indira’s Emergency. Again, they are shamelessly calling it public rule (Prajala palana)! They have been creating obstacles to our meetings since the beginning.”
Former Minister and Maheshwaram MLA lashed out at the police, claiming, “What is this about obstructing a meeting being held with court permission? It does not suit the Revanth government to discriminate against the unemployed.”

Later, the former minister also reached the Saroornagar stadium.
The party had planned the program to highlight the Congress government’s failure to fulfil its promises on jobs and student welfare, where BRS Working President KTR is scheduled to address the public meeting.
The party had made extensive arrangements for the event and had called upon unemployed youth and students to attend in large numbers.
