Hyderabad ( Journalist File ) : The Telangana Legislative Assembly session commenced without the presence of the principal opposition party. As the BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) legislators and MLCs headed towards the Assembly, police blocked their way and arrested several of them. Among those detained were K.T. Rama Rao, K. Kavitha, and other party representatives, who were later taken away in police vans.
Earlier in the day, BRS legislators and MLCs had paid tribute to the martyrs of Telangana at the Amaraveerula Stupa in Gun Park on the occasion of Deeksha Vijay Diwas. Afterward, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao's son, K.T. Rama Rao, along with Revanth Reddy, donned T-shirts featuring photos of industrialist Adani, and made their way towards the Assembly.
At Gate-2 of the Assembly, they were stopped by the police, who expressed objection to their attire. This led to a brief tense standoff. K.T. Rama Rao confronted the police, demanding an explanation for their actions. In response, Revanth Reddy and other BRS representatives raised slogans such as "Adani Bhai Bhai" and "Kusthi in Delhi, Dosti in the Streets," among others, in a show of protest.
