The stage is set for the commencement of the monsoon session of the Telangana legislature on Monday (September 7, 2026).

The monsoon session, coming after the budget session which ended on March 30, is expected to witness heated debates on various issues, prime among them being the controversy over the inclusion of several private lands in the prohibited list (Section 22A of the Registration Act) that created consternation among house/land owners.

The main Opposition BRS, as well as the BJP, have asserted that they will “expose” the double standards of the Government, which was doling out land to private individuals and eyeing private individuals' land during the session.

While the Opposition members are gearing up to corner the ruling party on the furore raised by the affected landowners, the ruling Congress is gearing up to release a factual picture relating to the problems that cropped up with the introduction of the Dharani portal, which pushed many a landowner into crisis due to its inherent technical and updating of details

The Treasury Benches are preparing to highlight the inclusion of lands on the prohibited list under the previous BRS rule, the number of registrations carried out by relaxing the rule to benefit “those close to powers that be,” and related issues.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s challenge to Opposition leader K. Chandrasekhar Rao to attend the assembly proceedings or resign from the post is another major issue that is expected to dominate the proceedings.

The Chief Minister has been mentioning the absence of the Opposition leader from the House for a major part of the last three years, at a time when the Government had spent over ₹22.38 crore on his salary, security and other facilities.

“Employees will be dismissed if they fail to attend duties for a year or more. Why should Mr. KCR continue in the post when he is not attending the proceedings?” he asked, adding that the Government had spent ₹22.24 crore tax payers money towards salaries, security and other facilities that are being provided to the Opposition leader in the 1,000 days since the Congress took over the reins.

The Chief Minister’s assertion assumes significance in light of the reported claims of the BRS top leaders that Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao would return to the assembly as the Chief Minister after the party secures a full majority in the next elections. The BRS has decided to corner the Government on the implementation of the six guarantees, promises made to unemployed, youth and students during the session.

The session will see extensive debates on the proposed changes in the polytechnic courses, fee reimbursement to students, Kalyana Laksmhi/Shaadi Mubarak and other issues.

Meanwhile, Assembly Speaker G. Prasad Kumar and Council chairman G. Sukhender Reddy reviewed the arrangements being made for the session with senior officials on Saturday (September 5). They directed the officials to be prepared with answers to the questions likely to be raised by the Opposition members, and the Home Department has been directed to tighten security around the legislature premises without giving scope for staging dharnas or protests.
