On 14 March 2025, BRS members staged protests at major junctions in Jukkal city (Rangareddy, 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, a peaceful protest demanding the reinstatement of a BRS party legislator occurred in Jukkal city, Rangareddy district, Telangana state, India. The protest, which took place at major intersections, was assessed as low-risk and is estimated to have temporarily affected local traffic.

Supply-chain impact

• Potential logistics delays due to temporary road traffic blockages in the outskirts of the Hyderabad metropolitan area
• As Telangana state is a major IT hub and pharmaceutical industry center in India, there was minor impact on accessibility to industrial complexes within the region
• Classified as a peaceful protest, no direct damage to manufacturing facilities or logistics warehouses is expected
• Given the nature of the political protest, impact on overall economic activities is limited

Watch points

• Monitor whether political conflicts between the BRS party and the ruling INC party intensify and any additional protest plans
• Confirm normalization of operations at major industrial complexes in Telangana state (Hyderabad Cyberabad, Generic Valley, etc.)
