HYDERABAD: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) legislators, who tried to attend Telangana assembly and legislative council wearing T-shirts with slogans ‘Revanth-Adani bhai bhai’, were detained outside the assembly by police Monday.
BRS MLAs and MLCs were later taken in police vans and dropped at Telangana Bhavan, where they continued their protest by displaying their T-shirts and raising slogans.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao said that Congress was adopting a dual policy on Adani and his investments and demanded that Rahul Gandhi make his stand clear.
“Congress criticises the Adani group at Centre. Rahul Gandhi even wore a T-shirt questioning Modi-Adani relations and attended Parliament sessions along with 100 MPs. But in Telangana, BRS MLAs and MLCs were prevented from the legistlative assembly and council. There is a conspiracy to hand over projects to the Adani group here,” KTR further added.
He questioned how there could be two policies – one in Delhi and another in Telangana – and asked Rahul Gandhi to clarify this. The BRS functionary said that the party would continue to fight against the “unholy relationship” that is against the interests of Telangana.
The BRS functionary further added that police took the party’s MLAs and MLCs into custody on the first day of the assembly and council sessions, based on one person’s orders.
He asked police whether they took due permission (from Speaker/chairman) before detaining the party’s MLAs and MLCs during the sessions.
