The Telangana CM wants sessions for a month with at least 15 to 20 working days.
The Telangana government has sent proposals to the Legislature Secretary Vedantham Narasimha Charyulu to convene both the Assembly and the Council sessions from October 27.
The Business Advisory Committee will meet on October 26 and decide on the duration of the session. Chief Minister and Leader of the House K Chandrashekar Rao has decided to put forth a proposal that the schedule should be prepared for a month's sessions with at least 15 to 20 working days. The Chief Minister wants both the Houses to convene for the same duration. Every subject debated in the Assembly should also be debated in the Council, he said.
At the Strategy Committee meeting on the legislature session held at Pragathi Bhavan on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said, "Every relevant issue should be debated in the Assembly, and the government is ready to answer all the questions raised by the members. The ministers should get ready for this. We will accept all valuable suggestions. We want to have the session for one month, but we have no objection to conduct the session for any number of days as requested by the Opposition. We will also speak about whatever issues the Opposition wants to raise. But the House should be conducted in dignified manner."
"There should be an in-depth discussion on every issue allowing every member to participate. There is also a need to once again make resolutions on the bifurcation of the High Court, women's reservations in Parliament, higher reservations for minorities and STs, income tax exemption for the Singareni employees, interlinking the employment generation scheme with the agricultural activities, establishment of AIIMS in Telangana and so on. Let us pass these resolutions once again and send them to the Centre and exert pressure," the CM also added.
