When the I-T searches were underway, party workers staged a protest outside Laxma Reddy's farm house. Congress leaders raised concerns about the raids even before the candidates filed their nominations, citing allegations.
They claimed the raids were carried out in order to mentally harass the Congress candidates.
The I-T sleuths also raided premises of Badangpet Mayor and Congress leader Chigirintha Parijatha Narasimha Reddy since Thursday morning. Six personnel are involved in searching the houses in Balapur. Parijatha is currently in Tirupati while her husband Narasimha Reddy is in Delhi, reported IANS.
During the searches, Narasimha Reddy's mother and daughter were present. Parijantha resigned from BRS and joined the Congress party last year. She is the Mayor of Badangpet, a newly formed municipal corporation on Hyderabad's outskirts.
