Hyderabad: BRS leaders staged a BRS protest Adilabad against BJP MP Tejasvi Surya over his remarks on Telangana’s formation.

Participants carried placards and voiced strong opposition to the remarks. The BRS protest Adilabad drew party workers and local leaders, who joined the demonstration in large numbers. They demanded that Surya withdraw his comments and issue an apology.
