Directs State government to file a counter to the petition challenging the committees and adjourned further hearings to January 24

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

This component was intended to draw an additional one TMC of water per day from Godavari River, increasing existing capacity from two TMC to three TMC per day

Challenges government to prove its claim of 100 per cent loan waiver, stating that if they could, he would be ready to resign

The BRS government had offered 4.5 lakh podu pattas to tribal and other community farmers. These farmers cultivate only one crop in a year due water availability and if restrictions were imposed in extending assistance to them under Rythu Bandhu or the new Rythu Bharosa, it would be detrimental to them, he stressed.

KTR criticized the Congress-led government for failing to deliver on promises of Rs 12,000 annual financial aid. Questioning the Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi's about his support for auto drivers in the state, he said many were feeling betrayed by the lack of tangible assistance.

Former Ministers G Jagadish Reddy, Vemula Prashanth Reddy, and Talasani Srinivas Yadav said the government was using false allegations against Rama Rao to divert attention from its unfulfilled promises to the public

The session commenced in the afternoon on Friday after being adjourned earlier in the day for discussion on the Telangana Bhu Bharati Bill

Earlier, BRS MLAs submitted an adjournment motion, urging the Speaker to allow a discussion on the Formula-E controversy.

Turning emotional, they thanked the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), especially working president KT Rama Rao for supporting them during the tough times.

The Telangana Bhavan, which was bustling with BRS leaders until the afternoon, saw a heavy deployment of police in the evening, creating a tense atmosphere in the area. At one point, the number of policemen surpassed the party cadre present at the premises. BRS leaders, including spokesperson Manne Krishank, criticized the heavy police presence, accusing them of intimidating party activists. 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

"Dr Ambedkar will remain one of the greatest leaders and intellectuals of who preached Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. He will always be remembered and respected by Indians for many generations, (sic)" he 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

He said while the BJP government at the Centre was steering PSUs towards privatisation, the Congress-led State government proved to be a disaster for all sectors.

Speaking to the media at the Assembly media point on Monday, the BRS working president said farmers in Chief Minister's Kodangal constituency were being assaulted and threatened

In a statement, party says Finance Minister deliberately given false information on debts and had tarnished the reputation of the previous BRS government
