The move came under criticism from Telangana BJP chief who attacked Chief Minister KCR for allegedly doing away with the Governor's address.
The budget session of Telangana Legislature beginning without the customary Governor's address drew flak from the Opposition BJP and Congress, but experts say there is no violation of rules.
The session begins on March 7 and Finance Minister T Harish Rao would present the budget on the same day, an official press release said earlier this week.
This came under criticism from the State BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar who attacked Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, also known as KCR, for allegedly doing away with the Governor's address.
Referring to KCR's recent comments favouring a new Constitution in the country, Mr Kumar had tweeted: "KCR is already giving a sense of what he wants in a re-written Constitution. No rules, no traditions - only whims. I strongly condemn his decision to do away with Governor's speech..."
