BRS Intensifies ‘Gun Culture’ Allegations, Seeks Central or Judicial Probe in Telangana Cabinet

The opposition cites a minister’s family claims to press for an impartial investigation.

Overview

  • On Sunday, BRS Assembly whip KP Vivekananda accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of running a government through threats and extortion, naming senior ministers as offenders.
  • T. Harish Rao on Friday demanded a Central or judicial inquiry into what he called a ‘gun culture’ involving ministers’ aides and said the party is pursuing legal steps to press for a formal probe.
  • Harish Rao alleged deep factionalism in the Congress-led Cabinet and said the October 16 meeting prioritized internal quarrels over public commitments such as pensions and a paddy bonus.
  • The BRS argues investor confidence has suffered, citing 2024–25 figures of roughly ₹50,000 crore across 2,049 industries as the weakest since the TS-iPASS era.
  • Party working president K.T. Rama Rao amplified the claims on social media by contrasting past BRS investor outreach with what he alleged are threats to industrialists under the current government, while no independent probe has been announced.
