On 14 March 2025, BRS members staged protests at major junctions in Khammam city (Telangana) against the INC-led state government over the suspension of a BRS MLA and former MP from the Telangana Assembly budget session, for comments against the Speaker, and demanded his reinstatement. The protesters burnt effigies of the Chief Minister and raised slogans to mark their protest.

Summary

On March 14, 2025, BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) party members held a peaceful demonstration at major intersections in Kamam city, Telangana state, India. This was a low-intensity political protest against the disciplinary action of a state assembly member, with no significant physical clashes reported aside from effigy burning and slogan chanting.

Supply-chain impact

• Potential short-term traffic congestion due to demonstrations at major intersections in Kamam city
• Telangana state is a major agricultural region for cotton, rice and other crops, raising concerns of temporary delays in agricultural product transportation
• Limited impact on logistics flow in some sections of the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha connecting transport network
• Minimal direct impact on manufacturing supply chains as the location is distant from Hyderabad industrial complex access routes

Watch points

• Whether political conflict between BRS and the ruling Congress Party (INC) will expand and additional protest plans
• Traffic normalization status on major national highways (NH163, NH365) within Telangana state and agricultural product shipment schedules
