In a significant development, AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi took the oath as the Pro-tem Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly at Raj Bhawan in Hyderabad. The swearing-in ceremony, administered by Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, saw the presence of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.

The Governor appointed Akbaruddin Owaisi to the Pro-tem Speaker's position on Friday, ahead of the commencement of the first session of the third Telangana State Legislative Assembly, scheduled to initiate on Saturday.

The Pro-tem Speaker role serves temporarily, overseeing Assembly proceedings until the newly-elected members are sworn in, and a Speaker is duly elected. This procedural role plays a pivotal role in the initial stages of the Assembly sessions.

Previously, Revanth Reddy had made history as the first Congress Chief Minister of Telangana, leading the party to secure an absolute majority by winning 64 out of 119 seats in the state.

However, BJP's T Raja Singh sparked controversy by declining to take the oath in the Telangana assembly. He cited the appointment of AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi as the pro-tem speaker as his reason for refusal. Singh stressed his intent to take the oath only after the appointment of a full-term speaker.

Singh's refusal raised eyebrows and generated attention as it emerged amidst the procedural steps preceding the Assembly's session, bringing focus on the evolving political dynamics within the state Assembly.

This unfolding political scenario sets the stage for the commencement of the Assembly sessions, signaling potential debates and discussions as the state legislature begins its proceedings under the stewardship of the Pro-tem Speaker.
