Teenmar Mallanna’s Comments Spark Political Storm
Teenmar Mallanna Controversy: Gunfire, Protests, and Political Turmoil in Telangana
MLC Teenmar Mallanna has once again become the focal point of a major controversy in Telangana politics, this time over his fiery remarks on the backward class (BC) reservation issue. In a strongly worded address, Mallanna took aim at a poem written by a member of the Kalvakuntla family, claiming it distorted the true sentiments and struggles of the BC communities. His comments were seen as a direct jab at the BRS leadership, drawing swift backlash, especially from the Telangana Jagruti a cultural front aligned with the ruling party.
Violent Protests Erupt at Mallanna’s Office
Angered by his remarks, members of Telangana Jagruti launched a protest outside Mallanna’s office, which quickly descended into chaos. Protesters vandalized property and created a tense atmosphere as physical and verbal clashes broke out between opposing factions. Mallanna’s supporters tried to defend the premises, but the situation spiraled out of control, prompting police deployment to restore order.
Security Gunfire Sparks Panic
In a dramatic escalation, one of Mallanna’s security personnel reportedly fired shots into the air to disperse the crowd and prevent further damage. Although no one was injured, the gunfire intensified public fear and drew immediate attention from law enforcement. The act has since become the most contentious element of the incident, placing Mallanna’s security team under the microscope.
Gunmen Claim Orders Came From Mallanna
As the investigation gained momentum, both security officers involved in the incident were detained, and their weapons were confiscated. During initial interrogations, both allegedly told police that they fired the shots following direct instructions from Teenmar Mallanna himself. If this claim is validated, it could lead to serious legal consequences for the MLC, including potential charges of incitement or misuse of armed personnel.
Political Fallout Deepens
The situation has ignited a political storm in Telangana, with rival parties demanding accountability from all sides. The BRS is likely to leverage this incident to discredit Mallanna and paint him as a provocateur, while his camp maintains that he is being unjustly targeted for advocating BC rights. The incident also exposes deepening divisions between emerging voices in the state and the established political order.
Investigation Ongoing Amid Heightened Tensions
Police are currently examining CCTV footage, communication logs, and eyewitness statements to piece together a clearer picture of what transpired. As public curiosity and media scrutiny grow, the outcome of this probe may play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape ahead of upcoming electoral battles. One thing is certain this incident has intensified existing tensions and turned Mallanna’s campaign into a high-stakes affair.
