“Telltale signs of the state of affairs in Telangana!! Tired of police harassment, a Nizamabad sweet shop owner has put up a massive banner in front of his shop

Congress hits back

The Congress party hit back at KTR calling his post on X “fake news” and also blamed the sweet shop owner for arguing with the police and closing the shop.

“Nizamabad: There is no parking facility for the Delhi Wala Sweet Shop. The police went to clear the vehicles at the sweet shop, which was causing a traffic jam because vehicles were parked on the road. The sweet shop owner argued with the police and closed the shop, saying that the police were harassing him. After some time, the sweet shop was reopened. #ArrogantKTR

#KTRFakeNews,” the party said in a post on X.

An official response from the Nizamabad police is still awaited on the matter.
