Traffic curbs in Delhi till 10pm today amid MPs' protest, check affected routes

The BJP has criticized Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and his Cabinet colleagues for travelling to Delhi to protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, while ignoring the issues faced by farmers in Telangana. The BJP's spokesperson, N.V. Subash, mocked Revanth Reddy for speaking about democracy and voting rights, alleging that he had undermined the sanctity of the electoral process through his involvement in the 2015 "Vote for Note" case.

Subash also questioned the Congress government's failure to address several issues it had raised against the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, and demanded answers regarding the alleged encroachment of land at former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s farmhouse, the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme, phone-tapping scandal, Dharani land records portal, sheep distribution scheme, and power purchase deals.

The BJP urged the government to focus on issues affecting farmers, rather than engaging in "politically motivated" protests.
