Shocking Incident: Alleged Shoe-Throwing in Telangana Assembly
Drama Unfolds in Telangana Assembly: Shoe-Throwing Allegation Rocks Session
The Telangana Assembly, known for its intense debates and high-octane exchanges, witnessed an unprecedented and shocking incident during today’s session. Allegations surfaced that Congress MLA Shadnagar Shankar Shoe-Throwing at BRS MLAs, leaving the assembly in disarray.
The Alleged Incident of Shoe-Throwing
The controversy erupted while Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy was addressing the assembly amidst protests from the BRS MLAs. According to claims made by the BRS members, Shadnagar MLA Shankar hurled a shoe at them during the heated discussion.
In response, the BRS MLAs released video footage to substantiate their allegations. However, the footage does not provide clear evidence of a shoe being thrown. While Congress MLA Shankar can be seen holding an object in his hand, it remains inconclusive whether the item was indeed a shoe.
Despite the ambiguity in the video, BRS MLAs have been vocal in asserting that a shoe was thrown, escalating tensions within the assembly.
Assembly Chaos Over Formula E Case
Today’s assembly session started on a fiery note, with BRS MLAs initiating a debate over the ongoing case filed against KTR in connection with the Formula E controversy. The discussions quickly spiraled into chaos, leading to unforeseen incidents, including the alleged shoe-throwing episode.
Political Fallout
The shoe-throwing claim has only added fuel to the already intense political environment in Telangana. While the BRS members continue to push their narrative, the Congress camp has yet to issue an official response to these allegations.
This incident underscores the deep political divide within the state. Assembly sessions increasingly become arenas for dramatic and, at times, unparliamentary behavior.
Maintaining Decorum in the Assembly
The alleged shoe-throwing incident has raised serious concerns about the decorum and dignity of the Telangana Assembly. Political leaders and parties are expected to engage in constructive debates rather than resort to actions that disrupt the sanctity of the legislative house.
As investigations into the matter continue. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact the political discourse in the state.
