"brs-mlas"

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

Defected BRS MLAs Tellam Venkat Rao, M Sanjay Kumar and others have confirmed to have received the notices and informed that they would respond after taking legal opinion

The confrontation began during Question Hour when Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy blamed the previous BRS regime for delays in key highway projects, including the Hyderabad-Karimnagar and Hyderabad-Bijapur roads

The party also sought to discuss about arrest of farmers and the urgent need for their release

With Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) members raising slogans and insisting on a discussion on the atrocities against Lagacherla farmers in the House, Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar adjourned the Assembly to meet at 10 am on Tuesday.

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.

KT Rama Rao invited Kharge to Telangana to witness how well the "goat industry" was performing here due to its lead purchaser - the Congress.

"All our MLAs are waiting. We have not been called yet, but we are ready to give our samples" said, Padi Kaushik Reddy

Senior Congress MLC T Jeevan Reddy's call for disqualifying BRS turncoats, has brought internal differences within the party into the spotlight

It is high time to insulate Speaker’s office from overt political machinations and preserve its integrity

Harish Rao expressed disbelief at Sridhar Babu’s justification, calling it an utter disrespect to the constitution.

The episode of Arikepudi Gandhi's controversy left many senior ruling party leaders worried about the political fall out of the unrestrained slugfest.

In Zaheerabad, party leaders Nama Ravi Kiran, Bandi Mohan and several other leaders were taken into custody early on Friday

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 all, 10 MLAs, who won the Assembly elections on BRS tickets from different constituencies, had joined the Congress after the elections.

CPI MLA from Kothagudem Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao said criminal case should be booked against MLAs, who defected to other parties.

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.
