Hyderabad, Sept. 8: Telangana Assembly proceedings are set to resume for the second consecutive day on Tuesday amid a charged political atmosphere. Both Houses will meet at 10:00 a.m. for the day’s proceedings.
Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar will preside over the Assembly and begin the session with the Question Hour. The proceedings are expected to focus on issues raised by members during the session.
The Assembly may also witness a debate over objectionable remarks reportedly made by BRS MLC Tata Madhu against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. The issue has already triggered a strong reaction from Congress leaders.
Congress leaders have condemned the remarks directed at the Speaker. They described the incident as a disgusting act and questioned the conduct of the BRS leader.
Telangana Assembly to debate Speaker remarks
Congress leaders have argued that criticism of the Speaker’s post in such a manner is unacceptable. They said such remarks could amount to a breach of the Assembly’s decorum.
The Congress is expected to raise the issue during Tuesday’s proceedings. Party leaders are likely to take a firm position against Tata Madhu over the reported remarks.
Meanwhile, the second day of the Telangana Assembly session will begin with the Question Hour. Members are expected to raise questions on various issues during the scheduled proceedings.
The developments around the Speaker could add to the political tension inside the House. However, the Assembly’s response will depend on how members raise the matter and how the Speaker conducts the proceedings.
The issue has also drawn attention because remarks against the presiding officer can become a matter of House discipline and decorum. Congress leaders have therefore indicated that they want the matter addressed during the session.
Telangana Assembly session set for heated proceedings
The first day of the session saw a charged atmosphere inside and outside the House. Against this backdrop, Tuesday’s proceedings are expected to attract close political attention.
The Assembly will first take up the Question Hour after the House meets at 10:00 a.m. The issue involving the remarks against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar may then become a key point of discussion.
The Congress has made clear that it intends to strongly oppose the remarks attributed to Tata Madhu. The party maintains that the dignity of the Speaker’s office must remain protected.
The proceedings could therefore see sharp exchanges between the ruling Congress and the BRS. The Speaker will preside over the House as members take up the listed business and other issues.
