Telangana State budget session in mid February

The State Government, which is in the midst of a major exercise to formulate its budget 2020, will speed up the process soon after the Union budget was presented on February 1 as the budget session of the Telangana State Assembly would begin from second week of February. 

This session apart from passing the Financial Bill will devote more time to lash out at the Centre for not releasing funds to the state which had impacted its progress and will also pass a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the new Revenue Act and the



just-concluded municipal elections.

The budget session is likely to last for two weeks. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao will present a detailed note on the state economic condition and the challenges being faced by Telangana in fulfilling the demands raised by leaders in the House. A special debate on irrigation projects, the proposal it had made to the Andhra Pradesh Government for cooperation to link Godavari and Krishna river is also likely to be included in the agenda of the budget session.
