An open debate conducted by Telo News channel in connection with the November 30th Telangana Legislative Assembly Election turned ugly on Wednesday as a scuffle broke out between a BRS MLA and his BJP rival. As the scuffle escalated, the police and others intervened and separated the two.
State BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy stated that the BRS MLA from Kapur in Hyderabad, KP Vivekanand, had attacked the BJP candidate from the constituency, Kunam S. Salum G, when he was unable to answer a question posed by Salum G. Reddy said the police should register a case against the BRS MLA, or else the BJP would fight a legal battle.
BRS spokesperson Shaan Dasu Alish alleged that G had made a reference to the BRS MLA's father, although both should have maintained restraint during the debate. The video of the entire incident is now going viral on social media. Vivekanand attacked G by holding the latter's throat as an act of timidity, Mr. Reddy said in a statement. He emphasized that the police should book a case against the BRS MLA; failing which, the BJP would take up a legal battle.

When contacted, BRS spokesperson Shaan Dasu Alish mentioned that G made a reference to the BRS MLA's father, though both were supposed to maintain decency and decorum during the debate. While Vivekanand is an incumbent MLA, Salum G was a legislator earlier. Dasu Alish stated that both of them were supposed to maintain decency and be restrained. G should not have driven the debate by attacking Vivekanand's parents in the first place, and the ruling party MLA should not have attacked his rival. Both could have been sensible and realized that the whole world was watching them, Mr. Dasu Alish said.
