Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has reviewed the Budget preparations for the coming Financial year. He has talked to the Finance department officials at Pragathi Bhavan. He made some suggestions. For the first time, the Telangana Government would see that an integrated Budget would be presented. Irrigation and Agriculture would get the top priority it is reported.
The BJP Government has completed the presentation of the vote on account Budget but it looked as if it is a full-fledged budget. Prime Minister Modi commented that it is just a trailer and the movie is yet to be released. He said that more is to come in the future.
Following the centre, K Chandrasekhar Rao the Telangana CM said that in tune with the centre the state Government will also go for an interim budget and that could be for 6 months time. But who is going to present the Budget is the big question.
If the Cabinet expansion takes place on 7nth as being rumoured, then the Finance Minister will present the budget. If the status quo continues there is a chance that the Chief Minister KCR might present the budget in the third week of February.It will be an interim budget and later the full-fledged budget can be presented by the coming Finance Minister after cabinet expansion.
There is a talk that some ministers could be inducted before the budget session of the Assembly and later further expansion will take place once the Parliament elections are over. But all said and one the Interim budget should be presented for the smooth functioning of the Government.
