Telangana Assembly session to begin from tomorrow, likely to witness stormy scenes

Hyderabad: The Telangana Assembly session will begin on Thursday with Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan addressing both the Houses on the first day.

This is the second consecutive session of the Assembly after the Congress government took over the reins of power in the Telangana State.

The session is anticipated to resonate with vigorous exchanges between legislators of the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS over the issue of Krishna River waters, particularly related to handing over the outlets of Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar projects.

To this extent, the State Cabinet has already approved the Governor’s speech.  After the Governor’s speech, Finance Minister Bhatti Vikramarka will introduce the budget in the House.

The State government is also planning to release a white paper related to the irrigation department in the Assembly and to expose the failure of the previous BRS government which has allegedly handed over the management of irrigation projects to the Centre.

Meanwhile, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy has announced that the State government will introduce a vigilance inquiry report on the Kaleswaram project, which is said to be the brainchild of former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao.

On the other hand, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a counter in the High Court stating that it is ready to investigate into the irregularities of the Kaleswaram project.

In this background, there is a possibility that there will be a spat between Congress and BRS MLAs over the Kaleswaram project and KRMB issue.

After losing power, KCR is attending the Assembly session for the first time as the leader of the Opposition. If KCR attends the Assembly this time, it will become very interesting to see how the dialogue war between Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and former chief minister KCR is going to be. (NSS)
