Former Minister and senior BRS MLA T. Harish Rao has accused the Congress government of deliberately weakening the Telangana Assembly and silencing opposition voices. Ahead of the winter session, he demanded a minimum 15-day sitting to debate public issues.

Opposing the appointment of Gandhi, who had defected from BRS to Congress, as PAC chairman, ignoring T Harish Rao's nomination, they demanded a review of the government decision

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

Former Legislative Affairs Minister and senior BRS MLA Vemula Prashanth Reddy said the Congress government was using underhand tactics to undermine the Opposition’s role in scrutinising the State finances.

Rama Rao questioned the Congress's commitment to democratic values and established practices, arguing that appointing a defected MLA to such a crucial post eroded the Constitution and disregards parliamentary traditions.
