Live: Telangana Assembly Session Sees Major Uproar as Over 20 Opposition BRS Lawmakers Face Suspension

Justice T. Madhavi Devi of the Telangana High Court reserved her decision on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, concerning an interlocutory plea. The application requested a revision of an earlier directive that asked the state police chief to initiate disciplinary steps against officers responsible for stopping Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) members from entering the legislative complex a day prior.

More than 20 legislators belonging to the primary opposition party, Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), have been suspended from the Telangana Legislative Assembly for the duration of the current monsoon session. A state minister presented the suspension resolution while chaos prevailed on the floor, as protesting BRS representatives gathered near the Speaker's dais shouting slogans demanding justice. Key opposition figures penalized for the remainder of the proceedings include BRS deputy floor leader T. Harish Rao, along with MLAs K.T. Rama Rao, G. Jagdishwar Reddy, P. Kaushik Reddy, Anil Kumar Jadhav, Kova Lakshmi, P. Sabita Indra Reddy, Sunita Lakshma Reddy, Ch. Prabhakar, K. Prabhakar Reddy, K.P. Vivekananda, T. Srinivas Yadav, and K. Manik Rao. The disciplinary measure was enforced following intense protests staged by opposition members against comments directed at former Chief Minister KCR.
