In a significant political development, Congress MLA Gaddam Prasad Kumar is set to file his nomination for the position of Telangana Assembly Speaker on Wednesday. The decision, confirmed by Mallu Ravi, senior vice president of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), follows a strategic alignment with Kumar, a seasoned legislator representing Vikarabad.
The high command’s endorsement of Kumar for the Speaker post suggests a calculated move, supported by multiple considerations. Kumar’s nomination is anticipated to proceed smoothly, with no indications of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BRS) presenting a competing candidate.
With the window for nominations open from 10:30 AM to 5 PM today, the stage is set for the election scheduled on December 14. Kumar’s potential election as the Speaker is perceived as a formality, emphasizing the current political dynamics within the Telangana Assembly.
