February 9, 2026
The Andhra Pradesh Legislature's Budget session opens at 10 a.m. on February 11. Governor S. Abdul Nazeer will address the joint meeting of the Legislative Assembly and Council at Velagapudi, Amaravati. After the Governor’s speech, members will debate the motion of thanks. Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav is set to present the NDA government’s second full Budget in this session.
The ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) plans to discuss progress on irrigation projects such as Polavaram and Velogonda. They will also raise allegations of corruption in the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation project during a short discussion. TDP has prepared about 20 agenda points for short talks. These include the party’s election promise ‘Super Six’, issues about alleged adulterated ghee supplied to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, land-related allegations, land reforms, assigned lands, and matters on Pattadar Passbooks.
Officials said discussions will cover Amaravati’s development as the capital city, expansion plans under Land Pooling Scheme 2.0, and growth in the industrial sector. Highlights from Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s recent visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos are also expected.
NDA leaders indicated they will question the YSR Congress Party’s members about their attendance during the session. Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayyannapatrudu announced that students from schools and colleges across the state can watch the Assembly proceedings live from the visitor’s gallery. This move aims to boost awareness about legislature functions and promote transparency and accountability in governance.
