Clash Over a Photo Turns Chaotic in Rajanna Sircilla!
Rajanna Sircilla, Telangana – A symbolic act ignited real-world tensions as Congress workers attempted to install Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s photo at the MLA camp office of K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). What began as a visual assertion of authority quickly escalated into a heated confrontation between Congress and BRS party workers.
The BRS cadre objected strongly, claiming that the office belongs to the local BRS representative and not the Congress-led state administration. Verbal altercations turned physical, prompting a mild lathi charge by the local police to disperse the crowd and regain control.
Visual Politics, Vocal Disputes
The incident underscores how symbolism and image politics are becoming central to the political narrative in Telangana. While Congress argues it was a legitimate display of the sitting CM’s authority, BRS leaders called it provocation and disrespect to an elected MLA’s space.
🗣️ “This is not a government office; it’s a political office. They have no right,” said a BRS worker.
🗣️ “The CM’s photo belongs in all state-run spaces — including this,” countered a Congress supporter.
Police Step In
With tensions rising and crowds gathering, local law enforcement acted quickly to avoid escalation. No serious injuries were reported, but the incident has further polarized party lines in the district.
Debate Continues:
Who controls political spaces — the ruling government or the elected local MLA? As party lines harden, visual symbols like photos are becoming the next frontier in Telangana’s political turf war.
Stay tuned as this story develops.
