Telangana's CM threatens BRS leader over 2021 threat, sparking assembly chaos amid political and policy disputes.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy responded to a 2021 threat by BRS leader K Chandrashekar Rao to "skin" him by saying his government would "cut your tongue" if anyone challenges its commitment to the state and farmers. The exchange escalated tensions in the state assembly, where BRS MLAs walked out, accusing the Speaker of bias and denying them speaking time. The dispute unfolded amid broader conflicts over irrigation policies and disqualification petitions, deepening the political standoff between the ruling Congress and opposition BRS.
