After some high drama and a media briefing, Narasimhulu was taken away by Nampally police as a precautionary measure and some of the other TDP leaders too were taken into custody.
The TDP-TRS war has heated up with Narasimhulu challenging KCR to accept his own version of being a true son of the soil and come for an open debate or participate in the mass suicide programme to achieve the statehood.
The TDP legislator charged K Chandrasekhar Rao with playing with the lives of nearly 700 innocent lives and mortgaging the self respect of Telangana to Delhi Durbar and acting as a strike breaker.

He asked KCR why he was silent and hiding in a farmhouse when the 45 days of winter parliament session was going on. “Without pressing the T issue in parliament, how can be separate state achieved?” he asked.
The previous edition of Telangana agitation to go down the drain as Chenna Reddy betrayed the people in 1969 agitation which claimed 400 lives, he said.
