BRS Working President KT Rama Rao on Friday challenged Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy to prove the Congress’s claimed public popularity by making 10 MLAs who defected from the BRS resign and contest fresh by-elections. Addressing newly elected BRS sarpanches in Sircilla, he accused Revanth of shielding turncoat MLAs, pressuring the Speaker to ignore evidence, and undermining democratic norms.
