The shirts featured the slogan ‘Congress failed to deliver promises in 1000 days’. During the confrontation, arguments broke out between the BRS MLAs and police, with several legislators later detained and taken to Telangana Bhavan. Inside the Assembly, the session was adjourned for 15 minutes following protests led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members. BRS leaders, including K.T. Rama Rao and G. Jagadish Reddy, alleged they sustained minor injuries during the incident.
