On 14 March 2025, BRS members staged protests at major junctions in Nakrekal town (Nalgonda, 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.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) party members conducted peaceful protests in Nalgonda district's Nakrekal town in Telangana state, India. Protests against the state government occurred at major intersections, but as low-intensity peaceful demonstrations, there appeared to be no immediate supply-chain disruptions.

2) Supply-chain impact

• While Telangana state is a major agricultural region in India serving as a production base for rice, cotton, and spices, the protests limited to the Nakrekal area had minimal direct impact on agricultural supply chains
• No impact on interstate trade logistics as there is considerable distance from the main logistics route between Hyderabad and Chennai
• Possible temporary transportation delays for small-scale manufacturers within the region, but minimal impact at the overall supply-chain level
• No impact on semiconductor and IT-related supply chains due to distance from Hyderabad, Telangana state's IT hub

3) Watch points

• BRS's future protest plans and whether protest areas expand - impact would increase particularly if spreading to major cities like Hyderabad
• Possibility of large-scale protest development due to deepening political conflicts in Telangana state and whether major logistics hubs become involved
