Hyderabad: The Telangana Assembly winter session is likely to be held from December 27 or December 28. The session is expected to last for three days. According to official sources, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has taken a decision in this regard. The government plans to use the short session to clear pending legislative business and address key political issues.
Meanwhile, an informal Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister is scheduled for December 22. The meeting will take place at the Dr. BR Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat. During this meeting, the government is expected to finalise the exact dates and duration of the Assembly session. Officials indicated that preparations for the session are already underway.
During the Telangana Assembly winter session, the government plans to introduce Bills to replace seven ordinances that were promulgated after the previous Assembly sitting ended. These proposed legislations include two amendment Bills to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act. The government also plans to bring an amendment to the Municipalities Act. In addition, amendments related to government employees’ recruitment and pay are on the agenda.
The session will also see the introduction of a Bill for the regularisation of contract and part time employees. Further, the Telangana Goods and Services Tax Amendment Bill is expected to be placed before the House. An amendment to the Private Universities Act is also part of the proposed legislative agenda. Official sources said the government intends to debate and pass all these Bills during the brief session.
A major political issue likely to dominate the Telangana Assembly winter session is the implementation of 42 per cent reservations for Backward Classes in ZPTC and municipal elections. The government is considering a detailed discussion in the Assembly. It may also seek views from all political parties on how to proceed. However, since the issue is under judicial consideration, the government is weighing whether to wait for a court verdict or take a political decision.
Meanwhile, the informal Cabinet meeting on December 22 is also expected to discuss elections to Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies and District Central Cooperative Banks. This follows the recent dissolution of their managing committees. Official sources said the government aims to use the session to build political consensus on sensitive issues while completing key legislative work.
