Hyderabad University Land Row Widens, BJP Team Stopped From Visiting Campus
A BJP delegation was blocked from visiting the Hyderabad Central University campus this morning after the students protesting against the redevelopment of 400 acres of land near the university clashed with the police in Congress-ruled Telangana.
Alleti Maheshwar Reddy, the BJP's floor leader in the Telangana assembly who would have led the delegation, told news agency PTI that the police did not let him step out of his house - that too without providing any notice. Other BJP leaders were also stopped from leaving their houses, he claimed.
Videos showed the police detaining BJP MLAs outside their state headquarters to prevent them from proceeding towards the university.
