Overview
- K. Chandrashekhar Rao attended the opening day as the House set aside proceedings for condolence resolutions, with a Deputy Speaker election and a Business Advisory Committee meeting to fix the sitting schedule.
- The BRS pressed for at least a 15-day sitting and said it is prepared to debate irrigation, river water sharing and governance issues on the floor.
- Opposition leaders targeted the Palamuru–Ranga Reddy lift scheme, alleging a cut in allocation to 45 TMC from 90 TMC and delays on a resubmitted DPR, while seeking equal time to counter the government’s planned presentation.
- Congress leaders prepared to question BRS-era decisions, including findings on Kaleshwaram, as reports of active SIT and CBI probes and possible summons to senior BRS figures form the political backdrop.
- Party organizers said KCR will launch public rallies from the second week of January to press water-rights demands, and security around the Assembly was tightened with sarpanch groups calling a ‘Chalo Assembly’ protest.
