HYDERABAD: Congress MLA from Narayankhed P Kista Reddy would be the first chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Telangana state.
As a practice, the PAC will be headed by a member from the opposition party and the Congress choose to nominate Kista Reddy for the post. Kista Reddy was chosen by the party as he was a senior member who did not hold any cabinet post when the Congress was in power.

The other members of the PAC include TDP’s Manchireddy Kishan Reddy and MLCs. TRS member S Ramalinga Reddy would head the Estimates Committee. DK Aruna, P Ajay (of Congress) and other MLCs will be the members of the committee.
