Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has announced its decision to boycott the orientation session organized for members of the Legislative Assembly and Council, which is set to begin on Wednesday, December 11.This decision was communicated by BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR), who criticized the Speaker for allegedly undermining the privileges of BRS legislators prior to the session’s commencement.He claimed that police intervention prevented BRS members from entering the Assembly and Council premises.KT Rama Rao further accused the police of arresting BRS members when they attempted to raise concerns about government failures and issues affecting the public.He expressed dissatisfaction with the Speaker’s handling of disqualification petitions against ten MLAs who defected to the ruling party after being elected on BRS tickets, alleging that there has been a deliberate delay in addressing these matters.Additionally, KTR stated that during the last session, the Speaker had suppressed BRS voices by not allowing them to speak on critical issues.In protest of what they perceive as a biased attitude from the Speaker, the BRS has resolved to boycott the upcoming orientation session.
