Telangana assembly Speaker Distributes Indiramma House Proceedings in Vikarabad
In attendance were District Collector Prateek Jain, Additional Collector Sudhir, various public representatives, officials, and the beneficiaries themselves. The Speaker allocated a total of 359 provisions for Vikarabad town and 254 for the surrounding mandal.
During the distribution, Speaker Prasad Kumar extended his best wishes to the female beneficiaries and highlighted the legacy of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who aimed to provide shelter for the poor. He noted that the current government, led by Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy, is committed to similar objectives, ensuring that Indiramma Houses are accessible to those in need.
Prasad Kumar urged beneficiaries to commence construction immediately, emphasising that funding would be transferred in four installments directly to their bank accounts, eliminating middlemen from the process. He explained the disbursement structure, which includes one lakh rupees after each significant stage of construction.
This year, the Telangana government has allocated ₹22,500 crores for the construction of 450,000 houses, with each constituency set to receive a specific quota, including 7,000 houses earmarked for Vikarabad.
The Speaker lamented the financial constraints resulting from a significant debt inherited from the previous administration, which has impeded the allocation of immediate housing solutions. He condemned the previous government's failures, which he described as a "government of words" and praised the current administration as one of action.
Highlighting various welfare schemes, he mentioned the distribution of fine rice to 90 lakh families, loan waivers for 2.5 million farmers, and free electricity for low-income households. Additionally, he reported that ₹1,000 crores would soon be disbursed to farmers in support of monsoon agriculture.
Prasad Kumar reaffirmed his commitment to developing Vikarabad, which he stated had regressed in the previous decade, and outlined ambitious plans for infrastructure, including CC road construction and the establishment of industrial parks. He also disclosed a significant investment to transform Ananthagiri into a major tourist destination.
Concluding his remarks, he warned the public against the misleading statements of the former ruling party, reinforcing the need for accountability in governance.

SC gives Telangana speaker 3 months to decide on disqualification of MLAs who defected to Congress
The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Telangana Assembly speaker to decide within three months on the disqualification of ten MLAs who defected from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi to the Congress in 2024, reported Live Law. The Bharat Rashtra Samithi had appealed to Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar to disqualify the 10 MLAs in March-April 2024. A bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih noted that the speaker had not even issued a notice on the disqualification petitions for nearly seven months. The court pointed out that Kumar could not keep the petitions pending for the term of the Assembly, as the delay would benefit the defectors. The speaker is expected to act in an 'expeditious manner' in such matters, said the bench, adding that a delay in handling the petitions would defeat the purpose of the tenth schedule of the Constitution. The tenth schedule states that a member of the House shall be disqualified if, after getting elected, they give up the membership of their party or join another political party. The court also pointed out that the role of the speaker is not immune to judicial review, Live Law reported. If political defections are not curbed, it has the potential to disrupt democracy, Bar and Bench quoted the court as saying. The bench also set aside a Telangana High Court ruling that courts cannot impose a time limit on the speaker to decide on disqualifications. In September, a single judge of the High Court had ordered the speaker's office to fix a schedule within four weeks to hear disqualification petitions against the ten MLAs. However, this order was overturned in November by a division bench, which said the speaker should act within a 'reasonable time' without setting a specific deadline. The Bharat Rashtra Samithi, which is the main Opposition party in the Telangana Assembly, challenged the decision in the Supreme Court in January. Those who had defected to Congress after winning from a Bharat Rashtra Samithi ticket in the 2023 Telangana Assembly elections are: Danam Nagender, Kadiyam Srihari, Tellam Venkat Rao, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Kale Yadaiah, M Sanjay Kumar, Krishnamohan Reddy, Mahipal Reddy, Prakash Goud and Arekapudi Gandhi.
