The arrest of Telugu film icon Allu Arjun has sparked a storm in Telangana politics, with opposition parties lashing out at the ruling Congress. BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar criticized the treatment of the actor, calling it a 'disgraceful act of mismanagement.'

BRS Working President K T Rama Rao joined in, slamming the government for treating Arjun like a 'common criminal.' The criticism comes after a tragic incident at a screening of Arjun's film 'Pushpa 2' resulted in a woman's death.

Rama Rao condemned the arrest as 'unwarranted,' taking aim at the Congress government's handling of crowd management during the high-profile event. Other political figures, including senior actor N Balakrishna and former minister Ambati Rambabu, also voiced their support for the actor, denouncing the arrest as unjust.
