Sources say the Congress party is considering reassigning Nirmala's ministerial portfolio following allegations of irregularities in the allotment of Telangana Government Industrial Infrastructure Corporation lands.
The Congress party is reportedly evaluating a reshuffle of Nirmala's ministerial responsibilities after allegations surfaced regarding the allocation of lands owned by the Telangana Government Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC). Party insiders say the controversy has put pressure on the leadership to demonstrate accountability and restore public confidence.
According to the reports, the allegations pertain to alleged irregularities in the way certain parcels of TGIIC land were allotted to private entities, raising questions about procedural compliance and possible favoritism. While no formal inquiry has been announced, the issue has attracted media attention and prompted opposition parties to demand a thorough investigation.
In response, senior Congress officials are said to be discussing options, including moving Nirmala to a different portfolio or appointing a new minister to oversee the land and infrastructure segment. The party has not issued an official statement yet, and the final decision is expected to be taken after internal consultations.
The development comes at a time when the Congress is seeking to strengthen its position in Telangana ahead of upcoming local elections, and any perceived mismanagement could affect its electoral prospects.
Stakeholders, including civil society groups and industry representatives, are watching the situation closely, awaiting clarification on the alleged land allocation irregularities and the party's subsequent actions.
