• AP Assembly to function for 17 days.
• Budget to be presented in AP Assembly on 14.
• BACS meeting finalises AP Assembly schedule.

The AP Assembly will continue its session until March 7 following key decisions taken at the BACS meeting chaired by Speaker Ayyannapatrudu in Amaravati. The Business Advisory Committee reviewed the legislative calendar and mapped out the agenda for the coming weeks.

As per the schedule, the Assembly will function for 17 days, with flexibility to extend the session if required. The state Budget will be presented on the 14 of this month. Since the 15 falls on a Sunday and the following day coincides with the festival holiday after Maha Shivaratri, proceedings will resume with discussions on the Budget on the 17 and 18. The Finance Minister is set to reply to the debate on the 18.

The BACS meeting also decided that discussions on Demand for Grants will continue for eight days. In addition, the House will take up six ordinances for approval during the AP Assembly session.

Several breaks have been scheduled in between. March 1, 2 and 3 have been declared holidays for the Assembly. On March 6, cultural programmes will be organised in Amaravati as part of the session calendar. Earlier, from February 24 to 26, sports competitions will be conducted for MLAs and MLCs to encourage interaction beyond the House.

Daily proceedings of the AP Assembly will begin at 9 in the morning and continue until 2 in the afternoon. Question Hour is expected to conclude by 10 each day, followed by Zero Hour discussions, ensuring regular opportunities for members to raise public issues.

With the Budget presentation and major legislative business lined up, the upcoming AP Assembly session is expected to witness detailed debates on financial priorities and policy direction for the state.
