BJP President Criticizes AIMIM Walkout During Vande Mataram in Telangana Assembly

Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao criticized AIMIM MLAs for walking out during Vande Mataram in the assembly, calling for accountability from the Assembly Speaker. He emphasized the responsibility of the Speaker in maintaining order. BJP leader Prakash Reddy termed the walkout an 'insult to the nation.'

In Telangana, political tensions escalated as BJP President N Ramchander Rao criticized the AIMIM MLAs for walking out of the assembly during the full rendition of 'Vande Mataram.' Rao highlighted the need for accountability, urging Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar to at least issue a show-cause notice to the legislators involved.

Rao paralleled the situation to Karnataka, where Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader had walked out over non-responsive ministers during the Question Hour. He suggested Telangana's Speaker should maintain similar strict oversight to ensure government accountability and decorum during legislative proceedings.

Additionally, BJP leader Prakash Reddy condemned the AIMIM legislators' actions as an affront to the nation's dignity, accusing them of lacking faith in India and its Constitution. The controversy follows a Central Government mandate for the full rendition of 'Vande Mataram' at official events, sparking debate over its implementation.
