Telangana Assembly Session Enters Day 3

The Telangana Legislature’s session will enter its third day today, with the Assembly and Legislative Council scheduled to begin at 10 am with Question Hour. Minister Seethakka is expected to introduce the Panchayat Raj Act, 2018 Amendment Bill in the Assembly. The BRS is likely to renew its demand for an apology from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy over alleged remarks against women MLAs, with ruling party ministers and legislators expected to respond.

The BRS is also likely to raise the issue of the Congress party’s reported attempt to lay siege to KCR’s farmhouse on Monday. The BJP is seeking discussions on issues including the 22-A land list, fee reimbursement and employees’ problems. In the Legislative Council, issues such as fertiliser shortage, Indiramma house allotments in Greater Hyderabad and the impact of El Niño are expected to come up for discussion. BRS MLCs are also likely to stage protests in the Council following the suspension of some of its members.
