I would request the Finance Minister to consider waiver of electricity bill arrears of the poor consumers of old city and also to withdraw thousands of cases booked against them by discom officials in the last few years.

About the third phase Krishna water Sir, it has not been mentioned anything in the budget. The Present requirement and the present water that is received by Hyderabad city is only 230 MGD, and we need at least 400 MGD of water to fulfill the promise made by the Chief Minister i.e. , 24 hours supply we need 500 MGD of water for this third phase of Krishna water for Hyderabad city is must and compulsory. Through you Sir, I request the government to please reconsider the decision of not bringing the third phase and please bring the 3rd phase, because the Chief Minister had also promised 25 MGD of water to Fab City.

About the land distribution Sir, The Hon able Finance Minister mentioned I have the Abstract and I would like to bring to his knowledge Sir, that in the 1st phase the minority beneficiaries have been 1568.In the 2nd phase Sir, the minority beneficiaries have been 1053 and in the last phase Sir, it is only 98 beneficiaries out of 4,023000, minority beneficiaries have only been 2819, this is less then 1%, I hope that the government take notice and do justice.

For BC`s it is 28% and for minority it has been only 6%. I request that this also be taken care of by the government and, according to the existing GO`s houses should be allocated to the Muslims. So far as the urban land ceilings act is concerned, I want the finance minister to spell out the time frame for repealing this act in consonance with the repel of the central government, Regarding the Arogya Sri Scheme to provide health insurance I would like the Finance Minister to clarify how the ceiling of coverage up to Rs 2 lakhs has been reduced to Rs 1.5 lakh with in a week from the Governor’s address to the Budget speech.

About the Regional Development Board, the government has agreed to constitute a Board; I would like to know when they would constitute the Regional Board.

Sir, when we come to the governor speech you say Budget speech, when we come to the Budget speech you say speak Demands and when demands come you say Appropriation.

Sir, we come out with so much of preparations in the morning they took 5 hours for one question only two parties. Old building is there why don’t you send us to old building? We feel only this building is only for TDP and Congress legislators, we do so much of hard work and some prepared. One Urdu newspaper wrote stating that the MIM legislators were quiet when the adjournment motion was raised about the 3rd phase of Krishna water by TDP, BJP and TRS. Here you don’t give us time and Jokers sitting write something not knowing what they have to write.

I have given two privilege motions against these Newspapers. They just do not understand any thing, they write anything privileges committee is there, why don’t you take action against them, and they are white collar criminals. The Editor’s son has sold girls to prostitute houses.
About the Sarva Siksha Abiyaan Sir, I request in all those districts where Urdu has been declared as 2nd official language, 30% allocations should be made compulsory for Urdu schools.

Lastly Sir, Most important issue which no one has mentioned, I would like to bring to the notice of this house about the price rise in essential commodities. A Committee should be formed and we should see how best we can tackle this and reduce the prices,

I thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.
