The Telangana Assembly witnessed a heated exchange on Thursday as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy confronted BRS leader K T Rama Rao's claims of the Congress government's alleged 'revenge politics.' Reddy fired back, insisting if the accusations were true, Rao would be in jail.

The verbal clash occurred during the budget debate, with Reddy stressing his administration's restraint since taking power 15 months ago, despite personal grievances including past wrongful detention. Reddy seized the opportunity to highlight the state's economic woes, blaming prior mismanagement and highlighting Congress's efforts to clear inherited debt.

Amidst challenging accusations, Reddy called for inquiries into alleged irrigation project misappropriations linked to BRS leaders. In response, Rama Rao labeled Reddy as hypocritical and accused him of dragging family into political battles. As Telangana navigates political tensions, the specter of high-stakes inquiries looms large.
