Why it matters
This reflects the intense political rivalry in Telangana and the ongoing debate over the responsibilities of an opposition leader.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has called upon the Congress workers and people to hold protests demanding BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s resignation as Leader of the Opposition for failing to attend the Assembly and staying away from public life.
He suggested that dharnas be held for six days from Tuesday and a major protest be organised at Indira Park on September 6 as the Assembly was starting on September 7. He said he would be ready to discuss the issues during the Assembly session, and explain what the Congress did in its 1,000 days rule so far. “Is there any other Opposition leader in the country who has stayed out of the public eye for 1,000 days?” he asked, alleging that the BRS had failed in its role as the principal Opposition.
