The proceedings were disrupted soon after the House assembled, with BRS members raising slogans demanding justice.Despite appeals from the Speaker, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and Legislative Affairs Minister D Sridhar Babu, the legislators continued their protest. The suspension motion was moved by Sridhar Babu before the Speaker announced the action against the 22 BRS legislators.Besides KTR, the suspended MLAs are Anil Jadhav, T Harish Rao, G Jagadish Reddy, Gangula Kamalakar, Kaushik Reddy, Madhavaram Krishna Rao, Kova Laxmi, K Manik Rao, Chinta Prabhakar, Kotha Prabhakar Reddy, Vemula Prashant Reddy, Marri Rajasekhar Reddy, Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, P Sabita Indira Reddy, Kalvakuntla Sanjay, T Srinivas Yadav, D Sudheer Reddy, V Sunita Laxma Reddy, Kaleru Venkatesh, Vijeyudu and KP Vivekananda.The BRS has 37 MLAs in the 119-member Telangana Assembly. The latest suspension comes amid an escalating confrontation between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS, with the latter repeatedly protesting over issues it has raised during the ongoing session.Meanwhile, a BRS delegation led by KTR is scheduled to meet Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla in Hyderabad today to raise the issues flagged by the party during the Assembly session and recent developments involving its legislators.- Ends(With PTI and ANI inputs)Published By: India Today Web Desk Published On: Sep 9, 2026 13:17 IST
