BJP accuses Rahul Gandhi of politicising Rohit's suicide
Hyderabad, Jan 19 (INN): Telangana BJP President G. Kishan Reddy on Tuesday said that neither Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatraya was responsible for suicide of UoH research scholar Rohit Vemula nor Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani was connected in any way with the incident.
Addressing a press conference at the State BJP Heaquaters, Kishan Reddy accused Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi of politicising the suicide of Rohit Vemula. He said that the student himself has clearly stated in his suicide note that no one responsible for his act. He said trouble began when Rohit allegedly wrote some comments on Facebook when Yakub Memon was hanged. When ABVP students approached him to seek clarification, they were allegedly attacked. The incident took place on August 3.
Kishan Reddy asked why Rahul Gandhi did not visit Warangal when three members of ex-Congress MP Sircilla Rajaiah committed suicide. He also condemned TRS and accused it of trying to gain political mileage by holding protest at Dattatraya's residence. Questioning TRS leaders' love for Dalits, he said their party chief K. Chandrashekar Rao did not fulfill the promise of making a Dalit the first Chief Minister of Telangana.
