BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Friday (December 13) slammed the arrest of actor Allu Arjun, describing it as "unwarranted and inappropriate."
He condemned the authorities for treating the popular actor "like a common criminal".
Taking a dig at the Congress government, Rao called the arrest of the National Award-winning actor a peak display of the rulers' insecurity.
"I totally sympathise with the victims of the stampede, but who failed really? Treating Allu Arjun garu as a common criminal is uncalled for, especially for something he isn’t directly responsible," Rao said on social media platform 'X'.
Rao emphasised the need for "respect" and "dignified conduct", while condemning the government’s alleged high-handed behaviour.
