A debate over legislative accountability took center stage in the Telangana Assembly as Chief Minister Revanth Reddy questioned the practice of elected representatives drawing salaries despite rarely attending sessions. His remarks brought attention to opposition leaders like K. Chandrashekar Rao and Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who have often been criticized for their limited presence in Assembly proceedings.
During the session, Revanth Reddy revealed that KCR has reportedly received around ₹1.06 crore in salary even after the 2023 election defeat, despite not actively participating in Assembly meetings. He questioned the propriety of accepting public funds without fulfilling legislative responsibilities and raised concerns about maintaining the dignity of democratic institutions.
The Chief Minister suggested that it is time for a serious discussion on whether MLAs who fail to attend sessions regularly should continue to receive salaries. He advocated for stricter measures to ensure accountability and proper utilization of public money.
The issue has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of elected representatives and whether attendance should be made a key criterion for drawing salaries, with many viewing it as a necessary step toward strengthening democratic practices.
