𝄹Indian Youth Congress (IYC) workers on Sunday attacked a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA’s convoy with chappals, over incomplete projects and non-implementation of schemes in Telangana’s Karimnagar.
🍸The incident took place in Gundlapalli village in Ganneruvaram Mandal in Karimnagar district when MLA Rasamayi Balakishan was there for a visit.
𝓀Police had to resort to the lathi charge to disperse the crowd.
𒁏Hundreds of Congress youth members gathered on the road.
They staged a dharna 🔜to complete a double road and a few other schemes that were promised, but are still pending for a long time.
✅Karimnagar District Congress President Dr Kavvampally Satyanarayana expressed his solidarity with the leaders of the youth groups that were protesting.
😼Meanwhile, IYC workers have been in the news for a number of reasons.
- On November 4, IYC demanded a high-level probe into the letter by jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar to Lieutenant-Governor VK Saxena, alleging he was forced to pay Rs 10 crore protection money to AAP minister Satyendra Jain. The youth Congress staged a massive protest in this regard outside the AAP headquarters. The police barricaded the road leading to the AAP office and protestors were stopped 50 metres away. IYC members carried a Rs 50 Crore currency note with Arvind Kejriwal’s picture on it, along with ‘Sukesh Chandrashekhar Reserve Bank’ written on it.
- On November 2, a Kasaragod court fined 12 IYC workers a total of Rs 91,200 for a “violent” protest they took out against the government for not handing over the case diary of the Periya double murder case to the CBI, despite two high court orders.
- On October 31, IYC members paid tribute to the victims of the bridge collapse in Gujarat's Morbi town by organising a candle march from its office to the Jantar Mantar, where its workers paid homage to the dead.
- On October 31, IYC slammed the Kerala government for raising the retirement age of state PSU employees to 60, dubbing the decision as "anti-youth". There are over 100 State PSU's engaging around 1.50 lakh workers.
- On October 15, 2022, Crime Branch named three IYC members—Thiruvananthapuram district secretary Suhail Shahjahan, his driver Sudheesh and local activist T Navya—as accused in the AKG Centre attack case. They have been charged with conspiracy.
