The Andhra Pradesh government is expected to hold a one-day budget session in the Assembly.
Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council and former Finance minister yanamala ramakrishnudu had earlier criticised the government's decision to promulgate an ordinance and ignore a Budget session, saying, "This is nothing but the government's bankruptcy." It just serves to highlight the jagan mohan reddy government's utter disrespect for the people, the legislature, and the opposition parties. The jagan regime has developed an evil practice of getting the budget passed by an ordinance.”
This ordinance issued by the government-approved Rs 70,983 crore in spending for a few months in the fiscal year 2021-22. The ordinance will expire in june, and the government is calling for a full Budget session to allow the finance ministry to release budgets to different departments. Meanwhile, the state has been under a partial lockout since May 5 to combat the spread of COVIid-19.
