The Income Tax
department officials carried out searches at the residences and offices of
Congress candidate P Srinivas Reddy here and in Khammam ahead of Assembly polls
on November 30, said sources.
Reportedly Reddy, contesting
from Palair Assembly segment in Khammam District, was scheduled to file his
nomination papers today.
Followers of the
Congress leader raised slogans protesting the searches in Khammam.
Reddy, at a press
conference, alleged that the ruling BRS Government in Telangana and BJP
colluded in the “attacks” on Congress party leaders.
“I request all my
followers not to resort to any activity as they (Central agencies) may trouble
me and my companies also,” Reddy had said.
Last week, I-T
officials searched the residences of K Laxma Reddy, Maheshwaram Assembly
segment Congress candidate and Badangpet Municipal Corporation Mayor
Chigurintha Parijata Narasimha Reddy.
