Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao has finally selected the speaker of Telangana assembly. It’s going to be Banswada MLA Pocharam Srinivas Reddy who was former agriculture minister.
As per the TRS party sources, KCR preferred Pocharam’s name being the senior and experienced MLA. Initially KCR considered Etela Rajendra, Padma Devender Reddy and few others. But all of them were reluctant as speaker’s position is reckoned as a bad luck.
Meanwhile MIM MLA Mumtaz Ahmed Khan has taken oath as pro-tem speaker in the presence of Governor ESL Narasimhan and CM KCR. The notification for the Telangana speaker election will be released tomorrow.
