Akbaruddin Owaisi demands 15-day session
Yesterday, AIMIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi urged Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar to conduct the Telangana budget session for at least 15 days to discuss important issues pertaining to the people of the state.
In a letter addressed to the Speaker, Owaisi stated that since the government brought the vote-on-account budget in the last Assembly session, demands for grants and other important issues were not discussed.
Meanwhile, BRS leader T Harish Rao also demanded that the state government hold the Telangana Assembly session for at least 15 days.
Despite all demands, the Telangana government decided to convene the Assembly session only until July 31 and present the budget on Thursday.
