Further adding to the confusion, Deputy CM Bhatti pointed out the absence of Finance Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, leaving everyone wondering who would address the budget debate.
Minister Babu eventually assured everyone that Vikramarka would join later, but this raised doubts about the government’s seriousness towards the crucial discussion, as expressed by Kadiam Srihari.
Congress in the Crosshairs:
The debate took a political turn when Kadiam Srihari launched into a scathing critique of the Congress party.
He invoked historical events like the emergency period under Indira Gandhi’s rule, highlighting the dangers of excessive restrictions and chaos.
He warned against repeating such mistakes and accused the Congress of indulging in dynastic politics and serving a single family, further escalating the arguments. Minister Ponnam intervened, urging everyone to focus on the actual budget discussion and avoid unnecessary diversions. (Maxim News)
