KT Rama Rao charged the Congress government with targeting BRS leaders for questioning unfulfilled election promises to Dalit and Bahujan communities.

He criticised the government for failing to purchase paddy effectively, leaving farmers with unsold produce despite producing 1.53 crore metric tonnes during the Vaanakalam (rainy) season

The police, however, stated that they were acting on orders from their superiors.

"We have discussed the State finances and loans about eight times. If the House is being run like this, one can imagine how the State administration is being run," Owaisi said

Responding to Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy's remarks to construct a new Assembly in the location, he charged Congress with disrespecting Telugu pride and erasing historical symbols

Rama Rao went on to castigate the Congress for its duplicity, with Cabinet Ministers like Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy engaging in alleged land deals with Adani Group representatives in Hyderabad.

Replying to a query during the Question Hour, Sridhar Babu stated that the Chief Minister never said that Rs. 1.50 lakh crore would be spent on the Musi rejuvenation project
