Telangana Assembly Turmoil as CM Revanth Reddy Uses Unparliamentary Slur, BRS Boycotts Session

BRS demands an apology, alleging Speaker bias after remarks during a Krishna water debate.

Overview

  • During a reply on Krishna River issues, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy referred to K. T. Rama Rao and T. Harish Rao as “Bhadwe” in the House.
  • He also invoked a 2021 remark attributed to K. Chandrashekar Rao and said, “we will not just skin them, we will cut their tongue.”
  • BRS MLAs walked out and announced a boycott of the winter session, saying they will continue their protest until the Chief Minister apologizes.
  • The opposition accused Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar of biased conduct, citing restricted floor time and his earlier dismissal of disqualification petitions against defected BRS MLAs.
  • BRS leaders contested the government’s claims on irrigation projects and water allocations, pointing to disputes over the NGT stay and recent Assembly actions related to Polavaram–Nallamalasagar.
