Chandrashekhar Rao, making a rare appearance at the Assembly session after a long gap, was greeted warmly by party MLAs eagerly awaiting his arrival. Before attending the session, he met with them in his chambers for discussions. The session is set to commence at 11 AM with the Governor’s address.

The bench sought responses of State government, speaker's officer, Telangana Legislative Assembly Secretary, ECI and the defected lawmakers before the next date of hearing, March 25

A special session of the State Assembly is likely to be held in the first week of March to pass key bills related to BC reservations and SC categorization. Meanwhile, the budget session is expected to commence in the third week of March after the Governor's address. The government plans to conclude the session before March 28, considering Ramzan, Ugadi, and other festivals at the end of the month.
