In a bold critique of the central government, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy condemned the detention of Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, during a protest in Delhi aimed at contesting alleged voter fraud.

Reddy insisted that incarceration would not stifle Gandhi's pursuit of safeguarding democratic principles and empowering voters across India, emphasizing the BJP's extreme measures to hinder this mission.

Monday's protest saw opposition MPs, led by Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, marching from Parliament House to the Election Commission, only to be intercepted by police. Amidst rising drama, the legislators were briefly detained before being released, highlighting the ongoing political strife.
