HYDERABAD: Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Varma on Wednesday expressed confidence that the state would lead the country in economic development, agricultural strength, technological innovation, social justice, and human dignity in the coming days.

"Today, Telangana is a state of possibilities, of growth and of empowerment. The Telangana of tomorrow will be even greater, showing a new direction to the entire country," Varma said, addressing the joint session of the state legislative assembly and legislative council on the first day of the commencement of the budget session.

The session began on a stormy note with the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLAs repeatedly interrupting the governor's speech by raising slogans, accusing the Congress government of indulging in corruption and shouting that the government was misleading the governor with false claims.

After a gap of nearly eight months, BRS president and leader of opposition K Chandrasekhar Rao entered the assembly, but he left the House soon after the completion of the governor's speech even as his party MLAs continued to disrupt it.
