The Congress government in Telangana has announced the dates of the budget session of the Assembly. It has been decided by the state government that the budget session of the assembly will start from 26th of this month. The most important thing is that on 28th, State Finance Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka will present the annual budget for the financial year 2026-2027. If sources are to be believed, this time the government has made a strategy to run the functioning of the House for about 15 days, so that public issues and development works can be discussed in detail.
This session is of utmost importance for the Congress government, because this budget will prove to be a big step towards fulfilling the ‘six guarantees’ promises made in the last elections. The Governor’s address will be held in the Assembly building on the first day of the session i.e. on 26th, after which the process of legislative work will begin in the House. Two days later, on 28th, Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka will present the budget. It is expected that special provisions will be made for farmers, women and unemployed youth in this budget. This is also a big challenge for Bhatti Vikramarka, as he has to balance the financial position of the state while facing attacks from the opposition.
There is a lot of debate about the economic situation of Telangana.
There was a lot of debate in the last few months regarding the economic condition of the state. Opposition parties, especially Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and BJP, have been accusing the government of financial mismanagement. In such a situation, this budget will give the government a chance to answer all those allegations. Analysts believe that the 15-day long session gives a positive message from the government that it has faith in democratic processes and is ready to debate issues with the opposition. The opposition leaders in the House will give their reaction on the budget and do a postmortem of the government policies, so that the general public will know what the coming year has in store for them.
Funding for welfare schemes of Telangana
The eyes of common citizens are on this budget. Especially on issues like inflation and unemployment. The government will have to take care of how to arrange funding for welfare schemes, so that the development work does not stop. If this budget lives up to the expectations of the public, then it may prove to be a political victory for the Congress, otherwise it may get a chance to play into the hands of the opposition. Now it will be interesting to see what good news comes into the hands of Bhatti Vikramarka on 28th.
