Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has intensified his political assault on BRS supremus K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) and the party, demanding a thorough investigation into a series of alarming incidents that have rocked the state's political atmosphere.
In a strong statement, the Congress chief directed authorities to conduct a comprehensive probe into multiple grievances, including the alleged verbal and physical abuse directed at Assembly Speaker G Prasad Kumar, violent clashes between BRS legislators and law enforcement personnel, and the deeply controversial 'purification' ritual allegedly conducted at KCR's personal farmhouse.
The so-called purification ceremony has drawn sharp criticism across political lines, with opponents calling it a regressive and undemocratic act that undermines the dignity of public institutions. The incident has reignited debates about the growing influence of feudal practices in modern Indian politics, particularly in states where regional parties wield significant power.
The clashes between BRS MLAs and police occurred during a tense session at the state assembly, where heated exchanges escalated into physical altercations. Reports indicate that several lawmakers from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi were seen confronting security personnel inside the legislative complex, raising concerns about the breakdown of law and order within the house.
The alleged mistreatment of Speaker G Prasad Kumar has been described as a serious breach of parliamentary protocol and institutional respect. Reddy stated that such actions reflect a pattern of intimidation that threatens the very foundation of democratic governance in Telangana.
Political analysts suggest that Reddy's decision to call for a social boycott of KCR is strategically aimed at isolating the BRS chief socially and politically ahead of upcoming electoral considerations. The Congress leader argued that the BRS leadership's actions have crossed acceptable boundaries and require accountability at every level.
Meanwhile, BRS officials have defended their position, calling the allegations baseless and politically motivated. Party spokespersons maintain that the purification ritual was a private religious observance unrelated to any political agenda.
