GG News Bureau
Hyderabad, 9th Nov. Income Tax department officials on Thursday conducted searches at the residences and offices of Congress candidate P Srinivas Reddy in Telangana ahead of the November 30 assembly polls.
Reddy is contesting from the Palair assembly segment in Khammam District.
Media reports suggested that Reddy was supposed to file his nomination papers on the same day.
Followers of the Congress leader protested the searches in Khammam by raising slogans.
In a press conference, Reddy had indicated that he expected raids from Central agencies such as the Income Tax Department and Enforcement Directorate.
He alleged that these agencies were targeting Congress leaders.
Reddy further accused the ruling BRS government in Telangana and the BJP of colluding in the attacks on Congress party leaders.
He requested his followers not to engage in any activities as he believed that the Central agencies might cause trouble for him and his companies.
Last week, I-T officials also searched the residences of K Laxma Reddy, Congress candidate for the Maheshwaram assembly segment, and Chigurintha Parijata Narasimha Reddy, the Mayor of Badangpet Municipal Corporation.
