India News | BRS Seeks Speaker's Nod for Privilege Motion Against Telangana FM

Hyderabad, Dec 16 (PTI) The opposition BRS in Telangana on Monday urged Legislative Assembly Speaker G Prasad Kumar to approve a privilege motion against Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka for allegedly presenting misleading data on the state's debt burden.

The BRS accused the Congress government of "inflating" the debt to Rs 7 lakh crore, which they claimed portrayed the previous K Chandrasekhar Rao-led regime in a negative light.
