Overview
- Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy confirmed Telangana has implemented sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes following Supreme Court directions and described the state as the first to do so.
- He said categorisation alone will not resolve disparities and pledged action on reservations in promotions, expanded higher education access, and protection of assigned and ceiling lands.
- The government outlined welfare delivery priorities including issuing ration cards, sanctioning Indiramma houses, distributing fine rice, providing free electricity, and raising diet and cosmetic allowances for hostel students.
- Reddy tasked government staff with acting as the government's eyes and ears, tightening tax collection, curbing leakages, and driving the 99-day Praja Palana–Pragathi Pranalika rollout to reach eligible beneficiaries.
- He flagged a tight fiscal position with around 1,000 employees retiring each month requiring roughly Rs 1,000 crore in payouts and criticized the previous BRS administration's livestock distribution approach as misdirected.
