Hyderabad: The Telangana Assembly session beginning March 30 is expected to be intense as the government and opposition prepare for debates on two major issues – the Kaleshwaram project inquiry and 42 per cent BC reservations.
The P.C. Ghosh Commission, which investigated the Medigadda barrage collapse for 16 months, submitted its report on July 31. The cabinet has reviewed it, and CM Revanth Reddy announced that the Assembly will debate the findings before taking further action. With the report naming officials and senior BRS leaders, tensions are expected to rise. Opposition leader Harish Rao has already vowed to question the government strongly.
Telangana Assembly session promises heated exchanges
The Assembly will also take up BC reservations. Two bills and an ordinance granting 42 per cent BC quota in local body elections are still pending with the Centre. With the High Court deadline nearing, the state government may introduce another bill to extend the quota to education and jobs. This move is seen as part of Congress’s effort to strengthen its BC support base.
Observers say the Telangana Assembly session will be heated, with sharp attacks and counterattacks expected from both sides. Whether K. Chandrashekar Rao attends will be closely watched. The combination of Kaleshwaram accountability and BC reservation politics ensures that the session will attract statewide attention.
