  "account": "Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy dismissed rumors of disciplinary action against Endowments Minister Konda Surekha, urging legislators to focus on development. The Chief Minister stated that the decision of the disciplinary committee should be accepted by all and he would not interfere in internal party matters. He emphasized that his priority was the government's affairs, not party indiscipline. Following his return from New Delhi, several MLAs met with the Chief Minister and expressed concerns about Surekha damaging his reputation and the government. However, the Chief Minister remained focused on the upcoming Assembly session set to begin on September 7. He urged legislators to address the needs of their constituencies and stressed the importance of accelerating land acquisition works for irrigation projects. The Chief Minister assured that the government would provide immediate funds for land acquisition, rehabilitation, resettlement, and forest clearances to avoid delays in project execution.",
