Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy removes Minister Konda Surekha from the state cabinet with immediate effect. The decision follows a recommendation from the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) disciplinary committee over controversial remarks, and a formal recommendation is sent to the Governor.
Alongside Surekha’s removal, the government rescinds the appointment of G Chinna Reddy as vice-chairman of the Telangana Planning Board. Gadwal Vijayalakshmi is appointed vice-chairperson in his place. Other personnel changes mentioned include new appointments for Nerella Sharada and G Sudha Rani, though specific roles are not detailed in the excerpts.
The two outlets align on the core action—Surekha being dropped from the cabinet—and on the immediate nature of the decision. Times of India adds that the trigger is the TPCC disciplinary committee recommendation, while Deccan Chronicle emphasizes that the recommendation to implement the change is sent to the Governor.
