In Karnataka, the Congress party managed to finalize its Cabinet Ministers in just seven days after coming into power. In stark contrast, the Telangana government under Revanth Reddy has been struggling for ten months to reach a consensus on the appointment of six cabinet members. This delay raises serious concerns about governance and the effective functioning of the state.
Currently, Revanth Reddy holds a staggering twelve key portfolios, including Home, Law & Order, Education, and Municipal Administration, among others. The concentration of power in one individual has led to significant challenges, particularly in crucial sectors. The law and order situation in Telangana has deteriorated, the education system is facing a breakdown, and vulnerable communities are being deprived of essential welfare schemes.
While governance suffers, Revanth Reddy appears preoccupied with appeasing party leaders in Delhi and securing his own political standing. His efforts to poach MLAs from the opposition further reflect a shift in focus from state administration to political maneuvering. This approach has created a vacuum in leadership and accountability, resulting in a significant decline in public services and welfare programs.
The ongoing cabinet impasse not only hinders effective governance but also exacerbates the challenges faced by the state’s citizens. As the administration falters, the question remains: when will the Telangana government prioritize the needs of its people over political games?
The urgency for a cohesive and functional cabinet is paramount, as the people of Telangana deserve leadership that is committed to their welfare and progress.
