HYDERABAD: The monsoon session of the state legislature will commence on October 27. After a detailed meeting with ministers at Pragathi Bhavan here on Tuesday, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao decided on commencement of the session of the Assembly and Council on October 27. The agenda and the total duration of the session will be finalised by the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) of the legislature which will meet on October 26.
The chief minister decided to put forth a proposal from the ruling TRS that the session should have 15 to 20 working days. The proposal was sent to legislature secretary Vedantham Narasimhacharyulu. Rao felt that both the legislative Houses should have same duration of session. Every subject that will be debated in the Assembly should also be debated in the Council, he felt. “Every issue should be debated in the Assembly. The government is ready to answer all the questions that will be raised by members. We are ready to debate any issue. All issues should be explained to the people through the Assembly and Council,” he said at the meeting.
Rao directed his cabinet colleagues to get ready to give effective replies to members in both the Houses. “We are ready to answer any question from opposition members. We have implemented many innovative programmes and schemes for the benefit of people, which no other government in the country has done so far. This should be explained to the people,” he said.
At the same time, Rao said, they would accept valuable suggestions if given by any member. “We have no objection to conduct the sessions for any number of days as requested by the opposition. We have no objection to rising of whichever issues they want to. We are ready to debate any issue. The House should be conducted with dignity. Let there be a debate on all issues,” he said.
