Rashtra Samithi (BRS) stopped state Congress president-party candidate Revanth Reddy's brother Kondal Reddy from visiting the polling booth in Kamareddy on grounds that he is not a voter here and is not authorised to visit.
Speaking to ANI, a worker of the BRS accused Kondal Reddy and his supporters of indulging in hooliganism.
"...Kondal Reddy is roaming around with a fake pass and speaking with the Returning Officer.
He is roaming around with 20 people. He went to three polling stations with them in three vehicles but the Police didn't tell them anything...They are indulging in hooliganism after coming here," the BRS worker said.
He further alleged that the police arrested a few of the Kondal Reddy's supporters but released them in 10 minutes.
