BRS Leaders Kept Under House Arrest Amidst Political Tensions
BRS Leaders | Hyderabad, September 13: Prominent BRS leaders, including T Harish Rao and MLC Shambhipur Raju, were placed under house arrest on Friday following the party’s call for activists to gather at the residence of Serilingampally MLA Arikepudi Gandhi.
The ongoing political feud between the BRS and Serilingampally MLA escalated as the party urged its workers to assemble at Shambhipur Raju’s residence at 11 AM. Raju was then scheduled to lead the group to Gandhi’s residence. However, police intervened to prevent these plans.

Following the Kaushik Reddy and Arikepudi Gandhi incident, BRS leaders were detained at the Keshampeta police station in Rangareddy District and subsequently released late at night.
The unsavoury episode began unfolding earlier in the day, with the protests by the BRS over the appointment of Arekapudi Gandhi’s appointment as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman. With Gandhi having defected to the Congress in July, Kaushik Reddy and the BRS challenged the appointment, pointing out that the post was traditionally given to the Opposition members.
However, Gandhi, justified the Assembly Speaker’s decision, claiming that he was still in the Opposition, a technical claim to the post.
Kaushik Reddy then said he would visit Gandhi’s residence in Kukatpally at 11 am on Thursday and offer him a BRS scarf. The Serlingampally MLA countered this by saying he would visit Kaushik Reddy’s house if the latter failed to arrive.
He also levelled accusations at Kaushik Reddy, questioning his competence to “challenge a senior legislator like him”, also stating that leaders like Kaushik Reddy were responsible for the electoral defeat of the BRS. Anticipating trouble, the police placed Kaushik Reddy under house arrest, but inexplicably allowed Gandhi and his supporters to reach the gated villa community in Kondapur, challenging the Huzurabad MLA to come out and confront them.
Speaking to the media after the attack, Kaushik Reddy said it was an assassination attempt and that his family, including women, were also targeted during the attack
