HYDERABAD: The Congress has charged chief minister
K Chandrasekhar Rao
of being the 'power' behind the order prohibiting public and
political meetings
on the
Osmania University campus.
The varsity recently issued a notice informing teachers and students that activities unrelated to academics and research, such as political and public meetings, will not be permitted on campus.
Senior Congress leader and former government whip T
Jayaprakash Reddy
flayed the CM for clamping down on political meetings in a university that was the hotbed of Telangana agitation. "KCR wants to suppress all types of dissent. The main intention behind the ban is to not allow Congress to organise a meeting led by
Rahul Gandhi at OU," said
Jagga Reddy, as Jayaprakash Reddy is populary known.
