Telangana CM Recommends Removal of Minister Konda Surekha

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy recommended to Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla on September 3, 2026, that Minister Konda Surekha be removed from the Council of Ministers with immediate effect.

The decision follows comments made by Ms. Surekha’s daughter against the Chief Minister and the Minister's refusal to resign after meeting Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday.

To counter criticism regarding the removal of a Backward Class woman, the government appointed Gadwal Vijayalakshmi as Planning Board Vice-Chairperson, Nerella Sharada as Women's Commission Chairperson, and G. Sudha Rani as KUDA Chairperson.
