High drama in Telangana Assembly: KTR, Harish Rao detained; BRS MLA pulled by hairDuring the Telangana Legislative Assembly's monsoon session, members of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), led by working president K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) and MLA Harish Rao, protested against the Congress government's performance after 1,000 days in power. The protest turned chaotic as BRS leaders were detained by police, with footage showing a female BRS MLA being physically restrained by law enforcement. BRS legislators wore black attire as a symbol of their dissent. KTR criticized the Congress government for making unfulfilled promises during the election campaign. Meanwhile, BJP MLAs demanded a judicial inquiry into the inclusion of private lands in a restricted list under Section 22A of the Registration Act. The protests disrupted traffic outside the assembly for approximately 30–40 minutes.

This incident occurred during the monsoon session of the assembly, which started with tensions. Inside the Assembly, BJP legislators led protests, prompting the Speaker to adjourn the session for 15 minutes. Outside, BRS lawmakers argued with police before being detained and moved to Telangana Bhavan. Some BRS members reported sustaining minor injuries and claimed they were mistreated by the police, including being pulled by their hair. In response, several BRS MLAs staged a protest at the Assembly entrance. Earlier in the day, BRS legislators honored Telangana martyrs at the Gun Park, where KTR stated the party would address issues related to land under prohibited property lists and unpaid fees.
