Police throw tight security cordon around K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s farmhouse
Congress workers on Monday succeeded in giving a slip to the police and reached the farmhouse of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at Erravalli village of Murkook Mandal in Siddipet district.
The administration deployed a heavy police force and heightened security was put in place in and around the village. All the main roads, as well as sub passages, were taken into control and the police searched every house located in the vicinity to check whether there were any party activists hiding in them. Determined to reach the venue, the Congress workers however sprang a surprise by arriving in small groups and reaching the village by all available modes of transport.
Some came riding bicycles and some others walking through the fields and more than 50 activists led by district Congress committee president T. Narsa Reddy were arrested. They were later shifted to different police stations. Police had a tough time in dealing with the Congress workers who barged into the village breaking the police cordon.
