Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 8 (ANI): Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao arrived at the Telangana Assembly on Tuesday to participate in the Telangana Assembly's ongoing session and said the party would hold the state government accountable on various issues.
Speaking to the media, KTR alleged that women BRS MLAs were attacked by the Revanth Reddy government on Monday and demanded an explanation from the Chief Minister.

KTR said the BRS, as the principal opposition, would raise issues concerning the state government’s functioning, including its “420-day and 1,000-day governance”, during the Assembly session.
He termed the developments of the previous day as “petty dramas and cheap theatrics” aimed at avoiding discussions on these issues.
“The people are watching everything. They understand what is really happening,” KTR said.
He said the BRS would question the government in the Assembly and make efforts to seek answers on issues concerning the people.
“We will certainly question the government today in the Legislative Assembly as the principal opposition. We will make every effort to get answers from the government on all issues,” he said.

“No one here is going to be intimidated or scared by the Chief Minister’s threats. The issue concerning the MLCs will be discussed in the Legislative Council,” KTR said.
He also alleged that Revanth Reddy was responsible for the attack on a BRS leader and said the Chief Minister would have to answer if women leaders were attacked.
“It was Revanth Reddy who attacked our leader. If our women leaders are attacked, then he must answer for those cases and face the consequences,” KTR said. (ANI)
