According to the rules of the Election Commission, such rallies were a clear violation of the model code. The police had registered a case on this complaint.
The second case is of the year 2021
The second case is of 2021. At that time, strict rules of Covid-19 were in force in the entire country. It is alleged that Revanth Reddy participated in a public meeting without taking care of mask and social distancing. At that time he was the President of the State Congress. Both the cases are many years old and have their roots in the politics of the time when the BRS government was in power.
At the hearing, the judge noted further investigation into the cases. On behalf of the Chief Minister, these cases have been described as old and politically motivated. The court has fixed the next date. This incident has sparked discussion in political circles about how even after coming to power, old legal matters do not leave us.
