TPN, Hyderabad: Tensions escalated in Musheerabad on Tuesday when Congress workers attacked the convoy of KT Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). KTR was en route to meet residents affected by the Musi River beautification project in Golnaka, Amberpet constituency, when his convoy was obstructed by Congress activists.
Led by Congress leader Motha Rohith, the workers blocked KTR’s convoy and raised slogans of “Go Back KTR,” demanding an immediate apology to Minister Konda Surekha and Congress workers who were allegedly assaulted outside Telangana Bhavan the previous day. The situation turned violent as some Congress members attacked the vehicles in KTR’s convoy.
In response, BRS activists confronted the Congress workers, leading to a brief standoff between both groups. The local police quickly intervened to prevent the altercation from escalating further. After restoring order, the police cleared the way for KTR’s convoy to continue its journey.
KTR was visiting Golnaka to show solidarity with the residents impacted by the ongoing Musi River beautification project, which has drawn criticism for displacing several families. The incident reflects rising political tensions ahead of the upcoming elections in Telangana.
The police are expected to review the situation and take further actions if necessary to maintain peace in the area.
