Telangana Finance Minister T Harish Rao is going to present the Budget in the State Legislative Assembly on March 7, the first day of the Budget session. The Telangana Cabinet gave approval to the Budget estimates for 2022-23. The meeting was held by Telangana Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao and was attended by the finance minister T Harish Rao and the legislative affairs minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy, the minister of finance secretary, CMO officials and other senior officials on Sunday.

This time, there won't be any Governor’s address and there will be no joint session of state legislature either. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday in a statement said, "Though the Constitution has given certain powers to the Governor and even when it is decided that Governor's address will not be held, I gave my recommendation for the presentation of the Budget, as my primary intention is for people's welfare only and any other thing in whatever situation takes a backseat."

"The government has in its wisdom convened the Budget Session from March 7, 2022, without the customary Governor's address as it is not a new session but a continuation of the earlier session. The House is meeting after five months. Under normal circumstances, when the House is convened after such a long interval, it is a new session, but the government has chosen to continue the earlier session," the statement said.
