Hyderabad: The Telangana government is reportedly exploring legal options to retain A.V. Ranganath in his position amid the ongoing controversy surrounding HYDRAA and the High Court’s observations regarding his appointment.
The issue has assumed political significance as Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has repeatedly projected HYDRAA as a key initiative of his government. The latest developments have reportedly raised concerns within the government over the possibility of a setback to the administration if Ranganath is removed from his position.
According to sources, the Congress government is holding consultations with legal experts on the matter and is examining the possibility of defending Ranganath’s appointment before the court.

The government is reportedly considering an argument that the appointment and posting of government officials fall within the executive powers of the state government. Based on this position, the government may seek to defend its decision regarding Ranganath’s appointment before the Division Bench.
The matter is expected to be taken up after Chief Minister Revanth Reddy returns from Delhi. A final decision on the government’s legal strategy and the arguments to be presented before the Division Bench is likely to be taken thereafter.
The developments have also intensified political debate over the functioning and authority of HYDRAA, with the government keen to protect the initiative and its administrative structure.
