Andhra pradesh budget session starts tommorow - but funnily as usual with Congress - they have not yet nominated a speaker for the forth coming sessions.
Governor ESL Narasimhan will deliver the customary address to the joint session of Assembly and Council at 11 am.
The following would be the key factors in the coming budget session :
While Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) and TDP has threatened to disrupt the governor's address on the statehood issue, CPI said it would raise a protest over non-reimbursement of tuition fee.
The "non-cooperation movement", to be launched tomorrow by Telangana employees and officers with the support of political parties to press for statehood demand, is also likely to affect the functioning of the legislature.
Civil Supplies minister D Sridhar Babu appealed to the employees not to paralyse the Legislature with their
stir. The protesters, however, have refused to pay heed.
Other issues likely to come up during the session, which is expected to run till March 31, are non-reimbursement of tuition fee for students pursuing professional courses, farmers' problems, the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal award and corruption in government projects.
Finance minister Aanam Ramanarayana Reddy will present the Budget for 2011-12 on February 23. Indications are that the Budget estimates could be pegged at over Rs1.20 lakh crore despite the state's balance sheet remaining red.
The assembly will see changed political equations this time with Praja Rajyam Party (PRP), the third largest grouping in the house with 18 MLAs, deciding to merge with Congress.
The TRS, which has 11 MLAs in the 294-member Assembly, has threatened to move a no-confidence motion against the government, despite lacking in numbers.
At least 30 members are required to endorse the no-confidence motion for it to be taken up for discussion by the house. TRS challenged TDP to support the motion to prove it had not entered into a "match-fixing" with Congress.TDP, however, was not ready to take TRS' bait saying, it knew when and how to press for a no-confidence motion.
Pro-Jagan MLAs will continue to fight against issues people are facing in the assembly to suffocate Congress .
