BRS leaders including Harish Rao were arrested and driven around in separate police buses for about three hours and kept in a police station for about two hours before being released.
BRS MLAs Padi Kaushik Reddy and KP Vivekananda demanded the defected MLAs to immediately resign from their posts and challenged them to win the bypolls.
In a statement, Harish Rao announced that the High Court's ruling upheld the disqualification of MLAs who defected from their parties, leading to by-elections in their constituencies. He expressed confidence that the BRS would win these bypolls and hoped that the Assembly Speaker would implement the High Court's decision within the next four weeks.
BRS MLA Mutha Gopal and other senior leaders filed the complaint against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for using abusive, defamatory, and unparliamentary language against former chief minister and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao on Tuesday.
Addressing a joint press conference, Sunitha Laxma Reddy (Narsapur), K Prabhakar Reddy (Dubbak), G Mahipal Reddy (Patancheru) and Manik Rao (Zaheerabad) said they had paid a courtesy call on the Chief Minister to represent public issues and protocol issues haunting them.
BRS MLA from Narsapur MLA V Sunitha Lakshma Reddy has said that the officers in Medak district were not following the protocol in Narsapur Constituency.
