Telangana Cabinet Meeting Postponed to July 28 Due to Ministers’ Absence

Hyderabad, July 25, 2025:

The much-anticipated Telangana Cabinet meeting, initially scheduled for today, has been officially postponed. According to government sources, the meeting will now take place on July 28 at 2 PM.

The decision to defer the meeting was taken after five key ministers remained unavailable, as they are currently in New Delhi attending other crucial engagements. Notably, Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar, Konda Surekha, and Vakati Srihari have travelled to the national capital to participate in the OBC conference, a significant event focusing on backward class welfare and political strategy.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy are also stationed in Delhi, adding to the absence of senior leadership required for the Cabinet session to proceed.

Sources within the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) confirmed that the meeting was postponed in view of the ministers’ tight schedules and the strategic importance of having the full Cabinet present to discuss key policy issues and upcoming administrative reforms.

Political analysts believe that the postponed session is likely to address several pending matters, including irrigation projects, welfare schemes, and decisions related to the state budget planning and implementation for the second quarter of FY 2025-26.

This development comes at a time when Telangana’s political atmosphere is witnessing increased activity due to upcoming *by-elections, **party restructuring, and *inter-state water-sharing debates.

The rescheduled meeting is expected to be crucial, not just from a governance perspective, but also in terms of sending a political message of unity and coordination within the ruling government.

  • Cabinet meeting postponed from July 25 to July 28 at 2 PM.
