Good to see the session respecting Ugadi and Eid holidays. That's how a secular state should function. But the BJP leader has a point - a 30-day session allows for proper scrutiny. Can't rush such an important discussion.

As a small business owner in Hyderabad, I'm waiting to see if there will be any tax relief or support for MSMEs. The IT sector gets a lot of attention, but traditional businesses are struggling with costs.

The budget should allocate significant funds for women's safety and public transport. Hyderabad is growing fast, but the infrastructure for daily commuters, especially women, needs urgent improvement.

All parties were present in the BAC meeting, that's a positive sign for democracy. Hope the discussion from March 23-26 is substantive and not just political mudslinging. Our state's future depends on this budget.

Interesting to see the procedural details. The coordination between presenting the budget in the Assembly and Council on the same day seems efficient. The real test will be the allocation for education and skill development.
