Congress Workers Ransack BRS Office in Manuguru as Prohibitory Orders Issued

The confrontation stems from a years-long local dispute over a party office that both Congress and BRS claim as their own.

Overview

  • Videos from the scene show Congress supporters storming the BRS mandal office, tearing down party symbols, hoisting their flag, and setting furniture on fire.
  • Firefighters extinguished the blaze and police responded, with authorities later imposing Section 163 BNSS prohibitory orders in Manuguru to prevent further unrest.
  • BRS leaders, including working president K. T. Rama Rao, condemned the incident and demanded immediate arrests of those involved.
  • Reports of injuries surfaced from BRS members, though police had not confirmed casualty figures as of the latest updates.
  • The property has been contested since former Congress MLA Rega Kantha Rao joined BRS in 2019 and the site used as a Congress office was converted into a BRS office.
