Kaleshwaram Report to Dominate Telangana Session as BRS Seeks Rebuttal Rights

The commission’s findings naming K. Chandrashekar Rao have set up a contentious debate.

Overview

  • The monsoon session opens Saturday and the government plans to table the 650-page Justice P.C. Ghose report for debate on Monday.
  • The judicial inquiry found major lapses at the Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla barrages and held K. Chandrashekar Rao directly and vicariously accountable for irregularities.
  • BRS has petitioned Speaker Gaddam Prasad to permit a detailed presentation, rejects the report citing denial of Section 8B safeguards, and says it is challenging the process in court.
  • BRS leaders dispute claims of structural failure at Medigadda, asserting only two piers were damaged and inviting rivals to inspect the site.
  • With heavy rains disrupting multiple districts, BRS has asked the election authority to defer gram panchayat voter-roll work and has demanded ex-gratia and crop-loss relief, as the House also weighs BC quota and urea shortage issues.
