BRS's Assembly suspension spree

Analysis

Assembly drama, now with a ghost BRS handle

Revanth Reddy reportedly cited @SandhyaRaoBRS while attacking KCR. The account was later deactivated; its authenticity remains unproven.

Inside the Telangana Legislative Assembly, a large empty evidence file and unused verification stamp sit beneath a fading ghost-like smartphone labelled with an X handle, while an unidentifiable official gestures toward it.

The account cited in the Assembly was later deactivated, and its authenticity remains unproven.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy reportedly cited an X account presented as belonging to a BRS official during the Telangana Assembly’s fight over the Erravelli protest and the reported “purification” of a road used by Congress activists. The account was named “Sandhya Rao”, with the handle @SandhyaRaoBRS. [Indian Express; Telangana Today]

Telangana Today reported that the account was later deactivated. BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank called it fake and alleged that the Congress IT cell created it. That is an allegation, not an established finding: no archive, platform record, official BRS office-bearer list or technical evidence has been produced in the material available. Revanth Reddy’s office has also not publicly explained how the account was verified before it was cited in the House.

The broader Erravelli dispute is documented. The account behind the Assembly attack is not. The Congress government has yet to answer the basic question: who was Sandhya Rao, and who checked the handle before using it as evidence?
