The Congress had posted a video on Facebook relating to KCR’s speech in the Assembly on Tuesday at the time of the Congress MLAs suspension. Telangana Congress claimed that Mr KCR himself accepted that Legislative Council Chairman Swamy Goud’s injury on eye is a drama enacted by them. The Congress, in its post, said that KCR said in the Assembly that if the Congress MLAs behave decently in the House, there is no need for them to play a drama (Natakam)”.
