The winter session of the Telangana Legislative Assembly will begin on December 29, with discussions focusing primarily on irrigation issues, particularly the sharing of Krishna and Godavari river waters between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, sources said.
Assembly sessions will not be held on December 30 and 31 and January 1 and will resume on January 2. During the session, the government plans to initiate discussions on water in Telangana with Andhra Pradesh, outstanding issues with the Centre, alleged illegal diversion of water by Andhra Pradesh and steps taken by the state government to prevent projects from being implemented without statutory approval.
In a meeting of ministers held at the Command Control Center here on Monday, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy reportedly said that the irrigation policy of the BRS government should be unveiled during the Assembly session. He also stressed the need to clearly explain the alleged injustices committed on Telangana in the use of Krishna and Godavari waters during the BRS regime.
The Chief Minister also asked the party leaders to strongly counter what he termed false propaganda by BRS President K. Chandrashekar Rao regarding the Palamuru-Ranga Reddy Irrigation Project and highlight the alleged injustice done in the region during the tenure of the previous government.
The Chief Minister also reviewed the result of the recent Gram Panchayat elections and reportedly termed the results as satisfactory. He congratulated the ministers for the party’s performance and called for continued efforts with equal intensity in the upcoming Mandal Parishad (MPTC), Zilla Parishad (ZPTC) and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections. The three-hour review meeting also discussed the recently held Telangana Rising Global Summit-2024, while issues related to party posts and nominated posts were discussed during the meeting.
