Nalgonda, April 07: Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) chief K Chandrasekhar Rao demanded the police to arrest the real culprits responsible for the murder of TRS politburo member and former Maoist Sambasivudu.
Speaking at a memorial meeting for Sambasivudu at Valigondla village in the district, he said if the police did not arrest the real culprits, the TRS would not keep quiet. Those who were arrested yesterday were not the real culprits, the TRS chief said.
He demanded the police to provide security to Sambasivudu’s brother Ramulu who is getting threatening calls. “If the police do not provide gunmen for him, I will fix private security for him,” he said. The TRS chief said the party would take care of all the needs of Sambasividu’s family.
“The party will deposit Rs.3 lakh in a bank in the name of Sambasividu’s daughter Swarnalatha and Rs. 2 lakh in the name of his parents.’’
Chandrasekhar Rao said the silence of TRS should not be construed as its weakness. “If the attacks do not stop on the TRS cadres, we will take up arms and fight with the enemies,” Chandrasekhara Rao said, reminding that the TRS has 10 lakh workers who would go to any extent to defend their colleagues.
He said it was unfortunate that the TRS had lost a leader like Sambasivudu. Though he joined the party recently, he became an important leader in the party, Chandrasekhara Rao said.
