"brs-mlas"

Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar has issued fresh notices to six BRS MLAs accused of defecting to the Congress, directing them to submit detailed replies within three days. Petitioners have also been asked to provide additional documentary evidence in proper legal format.

TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud has reiterated that 10 BRS MLAs joined the Congress to safeguard the State government from opposition threats. His remarks contradict the MLAs’ claims that they remain with BRS. Goud also criticised KT Rama Rao for lacking moral authority to speak on defections.

The Telangana government tabled the PC Ghose Commission report on the Kaleshwaram project in the Assembly on Sunday, providing only digital copies to MLAs. BRS lawmakers objected, citing denial of hard copies as their party chief KCR did not attend as Leader of the Opposition.

The BRS intensified its attack on the Congress after the Supreme Court directed the Telangana Assembly Speaker to act within three months on the disqualification of 10 defected BRS MLAs. BRS leaders called it a blow to Revanth Reddy’s leadership

In an open letter addressed to Chief Minister, they say Hyderabad, as a rapidly growing metropolis, should prioritise affordable public transportation rather than turning it into a profit-driven enterprise

The court noted that despite repeated requests by the petitioners and subsequent directions from the High Court to decide on the issue within a "reasonable period", the Speaker took nearly 10 months to issue a notice on the disqualification petitions, raising concerns about the erosion of constitutional principles.

Shortly after the session commenced, BRS MLAs raised slogans demanding an immediate discussion on the crop loan waiver. Led by Harish Rao, they called for the waiver of loans up to ₹2 lakh without delay, even as ministers initiated discussions on the annual State budget's demands for grants. As a mark of protest, the BRS MLAs wore black ribbons and urged the government to support farmers.

With growing internal dissent and uncertainty over Cabinet expansion, Congress’ backdoor dealings signal a party struggling to maintain control

Controversy began when BRS legislators arrived wearing t-shirts emblazoned with slogan 'Revanth-Adani Bhai Bhai'

Harish Rao criticized the State’s law enforcement practices, alleging that FIRs were being drafted under political instructions rather than legal procedures. Police stations have turned into Congress party offices, he said.

The Telangana High Court has reserved its judgment on the appeals filed by the Telangana Assembly Secretary challenging the single judge’s order regarding disqualification petitions.
