The Andhra Pradesh state budget for the fiscal year 2025-26 is poised for discussion as the Assembly session begins on Monday. Governor S Abdul Nazeer will address the legislature to kick off the proceedings. The Business Advisory Council is responsible for setting the session's duration.

Sources from the Legislature indicate that the budget will be presented on February 28 by Finance Minister P Keshav. This follows the Rs 2.94 lakh crore budget he unveiled in November 2024 when only over four months of FY25 remained after two interim budgets.

In related developments, the opposition is abuzz with speculation that YSRCP leader and ex-CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will attend the opening of the session alongside party MLAs. However, it remains uncertain whether Reddy and opposition MLAs will remain for the entire session.
