Telangana Assembly: A Heated Verbal Duel Between CM and KTR

A Fiery Start to the Telangana Assembly Sessions

The Telangana assembly sessions kicked off today with a bang. Unlike Andhra Pradesh, where the opposition YSR Congress is absent, the BRS faction is firmly present in the Telangana assembly. The session witnessed a high-voltage exchange between Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR).

Revanth Questions KCR’s Absence

Revanth Reddy initiated the debate by questioning the absence of KCR (K. Chandrashekar Rao) in the assembly. He highlighted the lack of allocations to Telangana in the union budget, stressing the need for KCR’s presence to address these issues.

KTR’s Quick Retort

KTR quickly responded, stating that Revanth should first counter the BRS MLAs present in the house. He asserted that they were capable of tackling any challenge and there was no need for KCR. KTR challenged Revanth to a duel, sparking a heated exchange.

Political Legacies Under Fire

CM Revanth Reddy shot back, emphasizing that he and his Congress MLAs are self-made leaders who fought their way up in the political arena without relying on their family’s legacy. This was a clear dig at KTR, who hails from a prominent political family.

KTR’s Counterattack

KTR didn’t hold back. He retorted by calling Revanth a “special payment CM” who allegedly paid money to Delhi bosses to secure the CM seat. This accusation further ignited the fiery exchange between the two leaders.

The Challenge for a Hunger Strike

Revanth then threw down the gauntlet, challenging KCR to join him in a hunger strike in Delhi to secure a better financial package for Telangana from the center. He expressed his determination to fight for Telangana’s rights.

A Session Full of Action

The Telangana assembly session today resembled a high-stakes T20 cricket match, with powerful attacks and sharp counterattacks. Both Revanth and KTR engaged in a battle of words, making the session one of the most eventful in recent times.

Conclusion

The Telangana assembly session today showcased intense political drama and high-voltage exchanges. As the BRS and Congress heavyweights clashed, the assembly witnessed a gripping showdown that will be remembered for a long time.
