On 14 March 2025, BRS members staged protests at major junctions in Ghanpur (Station) town (Jangaon, 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 party members conducted peaceful protests at major intersections in the Ganpur area of Jangaon district, Telangana state, India. The political protest against MLA assembly suspension issues involved effigy burning and slogan demonstrations, but was classified as a low-grade peaceful protest with limited immediate supply-chain risks.

2) Supply-chain impact

• While Telangana state is a major pharmaceutical raw materials and IT services hub in India, the current protests are small-scale and regional in nature with minimal direct impact on industrial activities
• Protests at major intersections in the Ganpur area may cause temporary traffic flow delays, but there is no significant disruption to the overall logistics network
• If political tensions escalate, potential impact on manufacturing and agricultural (cotton, rice) transportation within Telangana state is possible

3) Watch points

• Whether political conflicts between BRS-INC escalate in the future and trends in protest scale changes
• Possibility of protest expansion to major industrial areas in Telangana state (such as Hyderabad) and the degree of impact on transportation infrastructure
