Telangana State Cabinet To Meet Under Chairmanship Of CM A. Revanth Reddy In Hyderabad

The Telangana state Cabinet is likely to meet at 3 pm today under the chairmanship of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in Hyderabad. This was decided hours after the Election Commission of India (ECI) gave its nod yesterday on the condition that it takes decisions only on issues of an urgent nature.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had said on Saturday that he will lead a delegation of ministers to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar to seek his permission for discussing crucial issues that were on the agenda. It was expected to take a call on the buildings allotted to Andhra Pradesh besides other pending inter-state issues. It was



also to discuss the new academic year, Kaleshwaram project, the Kharif action plan, and farmer loan waiver among others.  

ECI joint secretary Avinash Kumar sent a letter to chief secretary A. Santhi Kumari yesterday stating that the poll panel had allowed the government to conduct the cabinet meeting on the condition that it only takes decisions on emergency time-bound issues that had to be implemented before June 4. The ECI also stated that no state government officer, who was involved in the conduct of the Lok Sabha elections, should be called for the meeting.
