Telangana House Opens to Protests as Govt Moves to Table Kaleshwaram Report

BRS unrest over a deepening urea crunch collides with the government’s plan to table the Ghose report on Kaleshwaram.

Overview

  • On the Assembly’s opening day, BRS leaders staged rolling demonstrations over urea shortages at Gun Park, the Agriculture Commissioner’s office and the Secretariat, leading to detentions and high tension.
  • K.T. Rama Rao left a police vehicle and walked to the Secretariat after being detained during protests, as BRS members also raised “We want urea” slogans in Assembly corridors.
  • BRS walked out of the Business Advisory Committee after the government signaled a short, two‑day sitting, pressing instead for a 15‑day session to debate fertiliser supply, flood damage and other public issues.
  • The Congress government is preparing to place the Justice P.C. Ghose commission report before the House, a probe that cites glaring lapses at Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla and holds K. Chandrashekhar Rao accountable.
  • BRS has rejected the inquiry’s findings, sought Speaker permission to make a detailed presentation, and pursued court challenges, while the Agriculture Minister blamed urea shortages on the Union government as farmers continued to queue for supplies.
