Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy has lashed out at the BRS for its 'stubborn' conduct in the Assembly, warning that continued arrogance would lead to the party's political demise.

  • CM Revanth Reddy warned BRS that their 'arrogance' would reduce their lives to dust.
  • Over 20 BRS MLAs, including KTR, were suspended for disrupting the Assembly.
  • Congress MP Mallu Ravi filed a criminal complaint against KTR for derogatory remarks.

The political atmosphere in Telangana has reached a boiling point as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy launched a scathing attack on the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) during the Assembly session. Reddy urged the party to abandon its stubbornness, admit its mistakes, and apologize to the public to avoid total political obsolescence.

Addressing the House, the Chief Minister questioned the rigidity of the BRS leadership. "Why is BRS still behaving so stubbornly? I am asking—are their crowns falling off?" Reddy remarked, suggesting that an apology would actually enhance the party's stature rather than diminish it.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this is more than a typical political spat; it is a strategic effort by the Congress government to redefine the boundaries of legislative conduct in Telangana. By framing BRS's actions as an attack on 'public institutions' rather than individuals, the CM is attempting to isolate the BRS as an anti-democratic force.

The Chief Minister drew parallels with the insults faced by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar, asserting that such behavior is an affront to the dignity of the state's democratic framework. He emphasized that no one in Telangana would tolerate insults directed at the leadership of public institutions.

"The shift from personal rivalry to institutional defense is a calculated move to delegitimize the opposition's aggressive tactics."

Adding to the legal turmoil, Congress MP Mallu Ravi has filed a police complaint against BRS Working President KTR. The complaint alleges that KTR used the term 'chillar na koduku' to describe the Chief Minister, which Ravi described as "grossly abusive and demeaning." The complaint seeks action under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for defamation and intentional insult.

The tension culminated in mass suspensions. Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar suspended more than 20 BRS MLAs, including KTR and T Harish Rao, for the remainder of the Monsoon Session. The suspensions followed a chaotic scene where BRS members demanded a debate on law and order and alleged threats against K. Chandrashekar Rao.
