High drama in Telangana Assembly: KTR and Harish Rao detained, BRS MLA pulled by hair

Chaos broke out around Telangana’s Assembly as the monsoon session began, with BRS leaders detained during a protest against the Congress government.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi lawmakers wore black inside the Assembly and protested at Gunpark over what they called the government’s failure after 1,000 days in office. Police denied BRS leaders entry to the Assembly complex before detaining working president KT Rama Rao, Harish Rao and others.

KTR accused Congress of winning power through what he called “reckless and false promises.” He said the party had made 420 commitments, promising to implement them within 100 days, but that none had been fulfilled after 1,000 days.

A video shared by ANI appeared to show a Hyderabad City Police SWAT officer pulling BRS MLA Sabitha Indra Reddy’s hair while she was detained outside the Assembly. The protest also caused a traffic jam lasting about 30 to 40 minutes as party workers and police gathered outside.

The BJP separately demanded a debate and judicial probe into private citizens’ land being placed on a prohibited list under Section 22A of the Registration Act, which blocks registrations and other transactions. BJP lawmakers displayed placards during question hour and later approached the Speaker’s well.

“

Congress came to power by making reckless and false promises. It deceived all sections of society. It made 420 promises, saying they would be implemented within 100 days. These promises were even given in writing on bond paper. They said the promises would be implemented within 100 days, but even after 1,000 days, not a single promise has been fulfilled so far.
