Union Railways and Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Friday that actor Allu Arjun was arrested to deflect blame from the Telangana government.

The minister said in a post on X, “Congress has no respect for the creative industry and the arrest of Allu Arjun proves it yet again. The mishap at Sandhya Theatre was a clear case of poor arrangements by the state and local administration. Now, to deflect that blame, they are indulging in such publicity stunts.”

“The Telangana Government should assist those affected and punish those making the arrangements that day instead of continuously attacking film personalities. It is also sad to see this becoming a norm in the one year Congress has been in power there,” he added.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.
