Sun Jan 12 13:20:00 UTC 2025: **Karimnagar MLAs in Heated Fistfight During District Review Meeting**
KARIMNAGAR, TELANGANA – January 12, 2025 – A district review meeting in Karimnagar took an unexpected turn when two MLAs, Kaushik Reddy and Sanjay, engaged in a heated argument that escalated into a physical altercation. The incident occurred during a meeting attended by ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy, Shridhar Babu, and Ponnam Prabhakar, along with other MLAs from the joint Karimnagar district.
The clash reportedly began when MLA Sanjay attempted to speak. This prompted an angry response from MLA Kaushik Reddy, who questioned Sanjay’s political affiliation and challenged him to win an election on a Congress ticket. Words quickly turned to blows, with both MLAs engaging in a fistfight in front of the ministers.
Police intervened, forcibly removing Kaushik Reddy from the Collectorate. The incident caused significant disruption and highlighted growing tensions between the two MLAs. Kaushik Reddy reportedly criticized Sanjay for supporting the Congress party despite winning on a BRS ticket, while Congress members expressed anger over Kaushik Reddy’s repeated involvement in such controversies.
Ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy, Ponnam Prabhakar, and Shridhar Babu expressed their displeasure with Kaushik Reddy’s behavior, with Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy strongly condemning his actions and the assault on MLA Sanjay. The incident is now under scrutiny, casting a shadow over the otherwise routine district review meeting focused on government schemes.
