BharatRashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders met Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla on Wednesday to bring to his attention recent state incidents, including alleged insults to female legislators, death threats directed at party chief K Chandrashekar Rao, and the suspension of two party MLCs, seeking his direct intervention as constitutional head.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, BRS Working President KT Rama Rao stated that the delegation briefed the Governor on prevailing political conditions in Telangana. Expressing outrage over police intercepting leaders on main roads while heading towards the Assembly, he criticized law enforcement for behaving inappropriately towards female legislators, adding that video footage of police aggression against former Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy was presented to the Governor.

KTR stated that the delegation explained how police created a Dusshasana parvam by pulling the sari of MLA Sunitha Lakshma Reddy. Wearing a black shirt in protest, he emphasized that BRS leaders maintain deep respect for the Speaker while noting that citizens and public representatives alike faced severe humiliation. The Governor was informed that Congress cadres were allegedly urged to gather at the residence of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to assault him.

According to KTR, the Governor assured the delegation that an inquiry would be conducted into issues raised outside the Assembly, while examining matters related to legislative proceedings.

Relying on this assurance, the opposition expects constitutional intervention to halt ongoing aggression. The BRS delegation clarified that members faced attacks simply for demanding the fulfillment of public promises and seeking justice. Formal complaints have already been lodged regarding AI-generated images and videos circulated by political opponents, with the party warning of strict legal action against those utilizing fabricated material to file false charges.

KTR added that if state authorities fail to deliver justice, BRS leaders will approach the National Commission for Women at the national level to lodge formal complaints, ensuring accountability for police misconduct and political harassment targeting female representatives.

BRS Working President KT Rama Rao on Wednesday said that the photos released by the Congress government were fake images created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and warned of legal action.

The BRS leader alleged that the Congress party and its affiliated social media handles were using AI-generated fake photos and videos to spread false propaganda against BRS leaders amidst the Assembly session.

KTR warned that they were lodging a complaint with the cyber crime police regarding these fake photos and that strict legal action would be taken against the individuals, who created and circulated them, as well as the media organisations that intentionally broadcasted them. He made it clear that BRS would not tolerate attempts to mislead the public by passing off AI-generated fake photos and videos as genuine.

KTR said that there was an attempt to divert attention from the real issues by using fake images and fabricated narratives to claim that attacks took place when, in reality, no such attacks occurred. “The Congress party is behaving like the thief who shouts ‘thief, thief’ to deflect blame,” he criticised.
