The winter session of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, which commenced on December 9, is expected to be marked by intense debates and exchanges between the ruling Congress party and opposition parties, primarily the BRS and BJP. The session holds particular significance as it coincides with the first anniversary of the Congress government, which assumed office on December 7, 2023.
Among the key issues likely to dominate the session are election promises made by the ruling Congress party, allegations surrounding attacks on government officials during public hearings for land acquisition, and the ongoing Musir river redevelopment project. Another contentious issue is the HYDRAA (Hyderabad Riverfront Development and Agricultural Rehabilitation Association), which has raised concerns among various political and social groups.
The Congress government is expected to showcase its achievements over the past year, particularly its efforts towards development and governance. However, the opposition parties, notably the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), are planning to vigorously question the government’s performance and highlight alleged failures under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s leadership.

The BRS has already released a ‘chargesheet’ against the Congress government on Sunday, outlining several claims of corruption, mismanagement, and unfulfilled promises. BRS MLA T Harish Rao, the nephew of party president K Chandrashekhar Rao, did not hold back in his criticism, describing the Congress government’s rule over the past year as a “saga of endless deceit.”
The BJP, led by Union Coal Minister and state BJP president G Kishan Reddy, also unveiled its own ‘chargesheet’ on December 1. The BJP’s document accuses the Congress government of failing to address key issues affecting the people of Telangana, including unemployment, poor infrastructure, and mishandling of public welfare programs.
Both opposition parties are expected to raise their points forcefully, questioning the Congress government’s handling of various matters, particularly in light of its promises during the election campaign. They are also likely to demand accountability for alleged instances of violence and intimidation, such as the reported attacks on government officials during the land acquisition hearings for the Musir river redevelopment project.
As the session unfolds, the ruling Congress party will be under pressure to defend its record, while the opposition will seek to capitalize on any perceived missteps or unfulfilled commitments. The outcome of these debates could have significant implications for the political landscape in Telangana, as the government faces continued scrutiny from both within and outside the Assembly.
With the session being closely watched, it remains to be seen how both sides will navigate these contentious issues, and whether the government will be able to quell the opposition’s attacks or if the BRS and BJP will succeed in highlighting what they describe as the failures of the Congress rule.
