What will the budget session include? 

The session will begin with the Governor's address. The House will adjourn after his address and the Business Advisory Committee will then meet to decide the duration of the session, issues to be discussed and other details.

The YSR Congress Party government had tabled the vote-on-account budget in March. The convening of a full-fledged budget session was delayed due to Covid-19 situation.

This will be the second budget of Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government since it assumed office in May last year. The first budget was tabled in July last year.
