Kavitha said the BRS was created to fulfil the aspirations of Telangana but had since “changed its name, work and soul,” leading to a disconnect with the public.
Police action to stop BRS leaders from visiting Parigi has escalated a political clash, with the party accusing the Telangana government of targeting voices backing protesting farmers.
Meanwhile, BJP workers and leaders demonstrated in front of the office. The National ST Commission has sought a report from the district authorities on the death of the candidate, while the BJP raised the issue in Parliament as well.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused the Speaker of acting on the orders of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and tagged it as a murder of democracy.
Even though the BRS leaders raised a stink after the SIT pasted a notice at his Nandinagar residence in Banjara Hills, Rao, popularly known as KCR, wrote a six-page-long letter to the investigators, agreeing to appear before them at 3 pm tomorrow.
The BRS, however, has alleged that the notice was issued just after they approached Governor Jishnu Dev Varma for an inquiry into the alleged coal scam, accusing the Congress government of attempting to distract people with the notice to Rao.
Recently, another former minister and BRS leader, T Harish Rao, was grilled by the SIT for seven hours.
He appealed to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu not to oppose irrigation projects on the Krishna river in Telangana that were cleared during the period of the unified state, as objections were delaying funds and approvals.
Reddy, the MLA from Bodhan, was appointed as an advisor to the government, while K Prem Sagar Rao, the MLA of Mancherial, became the chairman of Telangana State Civil Supplies Corporation.
Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Verma administered the oath of office and secrecy to Azharuddin.
