Quotes
S. Madhusudhana Chary
BRS Leader of Opposition in the Telangana Legislative Council
“I have myself served as a Speaker. Even in the undivided Andhra Pradesh, there was never such a massive deployment of police forces. Marshals were deployed inside the House. The Chairman did not even look towards our side. Discrimination against us continued even in the live broadcasts.”

“Do you really need to deploy 500 police personnel around 40 public representatives? Is this the respect shown to MLAs and MLCs?”
