KTR Threatens No-Trust Motion Against Telangana Speaker
KT Rama Rao, also called KTR, criticized police actions against opposition lawmakers in Telangana.
He said some women legislators were treated roughly outside the Assembly.
KTR blamed Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who is also the Home Minister, for the conduct of the police.
He said his party may ask the Assembly to vote against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar.
The party also plans to complain to two national rights bodies.
KTR said the government was trying to distract people from the alleged police behavior.
He also objected to opposition lawmakers being stopped from wearing protest T-shirts.
He compared this with protests by Congress members and Rahul Gandhi in Parliament.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi Working President KT Rama Rao said his party may move a no-confidence motion against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar.
KTR said the party would approach the National Commission for Women and National Human Rights Commission over alleged police brutality against women legislators.
He demanded that Chief Minister and Home Minister A Revanth Reddy accept responsibility for law-enforcement actions.
KTR alleged that police pulled sarees, grabbed throats, and dragged women by their hair outside the Assembly.
He accused the government of diverting attention and criticized police restrictions on opposition members wearing protest T-shirts.
