Accordingly, irrigation department staff have been collecting documents, agreements, and river board records, even during holidays.

Officials have also gathered video clips of statements made by former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Krishna and Godavari waters, both inside and outside the Assembly.

The ruling party plans to use these materials to counter the BRS during the session. Sources said clips related to KCR remarks made during visits outside Telangana will also be cited.

Meanwhile, the Congress Legislature Party will conduct an awareness programme for MLAs and MLCs on January 1 to brief them on discussion strategy.

Telangana Assembly | KCR is expected to attend

Leader of the Opposition and former Chief Minister KCR is expected to attend the Assembly on the first day.

His presence has generated political interest, as he attended only one day during the previous budget session.

The government has also decided to hold the Deputy Speaker election during this session. Dornakal MLA Ramchandra Naik, earlier announced by the AICC, will be nominated. Given the majority strength, his election is expected to be unanimous.
