Gaddam Prasad Kumar Is The New Speaker Of Telangana

The third Telangana Legislative Assembly unanimously chose Gaddam Prasad Kumar, a Congress member from Vikarabad, to serve as its speaker on Thursday. The Congress party in power suggested his name, and all of the major political parties endorsed his candidacy. Making the Telangana Assembly a “role model for other legislatures,” Prasad Kumar promised to carry out his duties to the best of his ability and to make sure that every member of the House was heard in his first speech to the House following his election. Aware that members’ time will be allotted according to the strength of their parties in the House, he stated that he anticipates thoughtful conversations and debates. Additionally, he voiced optimism that the media, which he described as “the fourth pillar of democracy,” would assist by educating the public about the House’s activities. Pro-tem Speaker Akbaruddin Owaisi had earlier seated Prasad Kumar in the chair after reading aloud a list of nominations on his behalf that had been received from all political parties, announcing Prasad Kumar’s election, and inviting him to assume the chair. Speaking shortly after, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy expressed his gratitude to AIMIM, BRS, BJP, and CPI for the unanimous choice of the new Speaker and expressed the hope that all parties would maintain the positive tradition created during this process by cooperating and coordinating. “If this is done, then the aspirations of the people of Telangana can be fulfilled,” the chief minister stated.
