It all began when BRS working president K.Tarak Rama Rao was speaking in the House and making a few suggestions to the government over the Pharma City. He also said some officials were misleading the government over investments from Davos. 

Intervening, the Chief Minister asked the BRS working president not to believe others, especially those who joined the BRS from other parties.  “Especially do not believe the sisters behind you or else you will have to sit at Jubilee Bus Station,”  Revanth Reddy said, hinting at former Ministers P. Sabitha Indra Reddy and Sunitha Laxma Reddy who were sitting behind the BRS working president.

Taking serious objection to the Chief Minister’s comments, the BRS members rose from their seats and approached the well, shouting slogans against the Chief Minister. 

Intervening in the matter, Legislative Affairs Minister D.Sridhar Babu defended that the Chief Minister had not taken any names.  All; he said was not to believe the people behind you.  It could mean anybody even those outside the House, the Minister said.

After many appeals from BRS MLAs, the Speaker gave the mike to Sabitha Indira Reddy. ” From which party did the Chief Minister join the Congress? Let there be discussion in the House over defectors, she demanded. 

Further, the former Minister asked as to whom she had betrayed her political career.  “When Revanth Reddy wanted to join the Congress, as a sister, I blessed him saying you will become the Chief Minister in future.  Yet, he has been personally targeting me and making baseless charges,” Sabitha Indira Reddy said emotionally.

As BRS members continued to raise slogans, the Chief Minister in his reply admitted that the former Minister had blessed him.  When in public life, there will be discussion on many issues, he said. 

Not convinced with his reply, the BRS members again rushed to the well.  Irked over their demands, the Speaker said this was not good practice.

With BRS members not relenting, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka intervened saying the Congress party had made Sabitha Indra Reddy a Minister and even offered a ticket to contest the 2014 elections. 

Unfortunately, after winning the elections, she joined the BRS for her personal benefit, despite repeated appeals from us.  “I tried to convince that the Congress party had chosen me the Leader of Opposition in 2014 and I would lose the position if she defected to the BRS.  Yet, she did not budge and I had to suffer,” Bhatti Vikramarka said.
