Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) on Saturday said it is likely that a resolution against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is passed in the Telangana state assembly in its upcoming session. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief was addressing a press conference when he said that the party may consider passing a resolution in the state's Legislative Assembly since it has, in the past, opposed the amended citizenship act. This means that the TRS-led Telangana might join Kerala, Punjab, and Rajasthan in passing a resolution in the state assembly, urging the central government to take down the contentious citizenship act. If the resolution is passed, this will be in line with similar resolutions passed earlier by the state governments of Kerala, Punjab, and Rajasthan, against the amended citizenship act, in the state assembly. "Since the formation of Telangana in 2014, TRS has won every single election, whether it is the Assembly elections, parliamentary elections or the local elections.
