Hyderabad- Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh has called upon Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to assert control over law enforcement in response to a surge in criminal activities in the city. Singh, known for his outspoken views, criticized the alleged interference of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leaders in police operations, urging the Chief Minister not to succumb to pressure from the party’s president, Asaduddin Owaisi.
Addressing recent incidents of violence and crime in Hyderabad, Singh highlighted concerns over the city’s deteriorating law and order situation. He accused AIMIM leaders of obstructing police efforts, particularly in crackdowns on late-night establishments and criminal activities.
“The police must be allowed to carry out their duties without interference from AIMIM leaders. Whenever actions are taken against establishments operating illegally at night, AIMIM party leaders intervene, hindering police operations,” Singh asserted in a statement.
The MLA’s comments come in the wake of reports indicating a spike in murders, daylight robberies, and dacoities across Hyderabad, with over 25 recorded murders in the past month alone.
Singh directed his criticism towards Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, questioning his apparent reluctance to confront AIMIM’s influence over policing in the old city area. “As the head of the Telangana police, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy should not fear Asaduddin Owaisi or the AIMIM. He must ensure that law and order are maintained effectively,” Singh emphasized.
The BJP legislator’s remarks underscore ongoing tensions between political parties in Telangana, particularly regarding governance and security issues in Hyderabad. As debates on public safety intensify, Singh’s stance reflects broader concerns about the balance between political influence and effective law enforcement.
The developments are likely to fuel further discourse on the role of political parties in policing and governance, prompting responses from both the ruling administration and opposition factions in the state.
