Tensions have escalated in Hyderabad between the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Congress, leading to the house arrest of several BRS leaders, including MLA Harish Rao. The unrest was triggered by an attack on BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy's residence by Congress supporters, incited by a challenge from MLA Arekapudi Gandhi. In response, BRS leaders protested against the violence and accused the police of bias for failing to prevent the attack. The situation intensified as the BRS demanded the disqualification of defected MLAs following a High Court directive. Meanwhile, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy alleged that the BRS was attempting to destabilize the Congress government, prompting police warnings against further disturbances. As both parties vie for control, the conflict reflects deeper political divisions in the state.
