Telangana Assembly Opens Winter Session as KCR Returns to the House

Debates over river water allocations, especially the Palamuru–Rangareddy project, will test the Congress government as the Business Advisory Committee weighs the session length.

Overview

  • The Assembly and Council convened at 10:30 a.m. with Question Hour dropped and the day set for condolence motions, with a Deputy Speaker election also planned.
  • The government prepared a detailed presentation on river projects, while the BRS sought equal time to present its case on Krishna–Godavari issues and PRLIS allocations.
  • The Business Advisory Committee will set the schedule, with the BRS demanding at least 15 working days and the BJP calling for up to 30.
  • K. Chandrashekhar Rao attended the opening day as BRS leaders readied a broad offensive on irrigation, farmer schemes, Gurukul safety, GHMC merger plans and alleged SCCL fund misuse.
  • Political tensions continued after the reported axe attack on BRS worker Chintakindi Ranjith in Mudheli, with police filing a case naming Narsimulu and terming it a personal dispute that BRS leaders dispute.
