Alleging that the Congress government only pretends to enforce the law but is actually protecting the BRS bigwigs,

The BJP MP commented that the Janwada farm incident is just the tip of the iceberg.

“It is becoming obvious that Congress and BRS are playing a game of ‘give and take’, protecting each other’s interests. Speculation is rife that #TwitterTillu’s family members were allegedly present, but Congress is putting pressure on the police to protect them instead of holding them accountable. # The TwitterTillu (KTR) family seems to operate in a “drug-free zone”, apart from law enforcement Telangana is tired of these half-measures by the Congress government and. needs real action against substance abuse,” Sanjay said in a post on X.
