Telangana Assembly Session For 10 Days

The Business Advisory Committee chaired by the Telangana Assembly Speaker S Madhusudhana Chary decided to conduct the monsoon session of the Assembly that started today, for 10 days, from 10 am to 2 pm each day.

At the BAC meeting, it was decided to resume the sittings on September 29, and continue for the next two days - on September 30 and October 1.

There will be no sittings for the next three days - with October 2 being Gandhi Jayanthi, October 3 being Saturday and October 4 being Sunday - and the House will begin again on October 5 and will continue for six days till October 10.

The Speaker said that the House, which began on Wednesday, was adjourned to September 29. That day's sitting will be confined to a thorough discussion on the farmers' suicides and agriculture issues.

According to credible information, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao himself suggested dedicating September 29 to a discussion on the suicides and agriculture-related issues, without any question hour.

All the members in the meeting agreed to the schedule of 10 days.

Telugu Desam floor leader E Dayakar Rao made a vain bid to take up the issues of the removal of voters in the Sanathnagar segment, irrigation projects and drought. The Speaker, at the behest of KCR, said that any other issues would be discussed later on, it is learnt.

Those who attended the BAC meeting include ministers Harish Rao and E Rajender, Deputy Speaker Padma Devender Reddy, TDP leader Dayakar Rao, Congress leader K Jana Reddy, BJP leader Dr K Lakshman, MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi, and the Left Parties' leaders Ravindra Kumar and S Rajaiah.
