Alleged Remarks During Krishna River Debate
The controversy surfaced late Saturday night during a short discussion on Krishna river water sharing in the Assembly. BRS leaders alleged that the Chief Minister used derogatory words while referring to BRS Working President K. T. Rama Rao and BRS Deputy Leader in the Assembly T. Harish Rao.
Harish Rao Alleges Violation of Democratic Decorum
Former minister T. Harish Rao accused the Chief Minister of lowering the dignity of the House by using indecent and unacceptable language, calling it against the values of a civilized democracy.
In a post on X, Harish Rao said the Chief Minister publicly claims to oppose abusive language in the Assembly, yet allegedly resorted to the same conduct himself.
Key Allegations Made by BRS
- Use of highly objectionable words inside the Assembly
- Threatening tone and references considered criminal in nature
- Failure of the Speaker to intervene and restrain the Chief Minister
- Damage to the sanctity of the Assembly, often referred to as the “temple of democracy”
Assembly Boycott by BRS
Notably, BRS MLAs were absent from the House at the time, as the party had announced a boycott of the ongoing winter session, alleging biased conduct by the Speaker.
Credit Row Over Irrigation Projects
Harish Rao further alleged that the Chief Minister attempted to take credit for the National Green Tribunal’s stay on the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project, claiming it was actually the result of BRS’s legal battle.
He also rejected Congress claims on the Palamuru–Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation Project, stating that:
- Only a CMO note was issued in 2009
- The DPR-related government order was released close to the 2014 elections
Raising sharp questions, Harish Rao asked how a party that took five years to prepare a DPR could criticize BRS.
Strong Condemnation from BRS Leaders
Former minister T. Srinivas Yadav and former Minority Finance Corporation chairman Mohammed Imtiaz Ishaq also condemned the Chief Minister’s alleged language, calling it unbecoming of the constitutional post.
They said such remarks weaken democratic institutions and demanded that the Chief Minister apologise to the people of Telangana.
