RAIPUR: A 5-day monsoon session of the Chhattisgarh Assembly begins on Monday and is likely to be stormy as the opposition Congress has geared up to launch an onslaught on the ruling BJP government led by Vishnu Deo Sai.
Around 1000 questions have been listed for the Question Hour in the upcoming session.
According to official sources, the BJP government is likely to introduce some key bills besides a supplementary budget during the session.
The leader of the opposition, Charandas Mahant, who chaired a meeting of his party MLAs ahead of the session at Rajiv Bhawan, conveyed that every important issue related to public interest should be raised with an aggressive stance to corner the government. The Congress legislators have been instructed to attend the monsoon session with their full preparation, supported with facts and reasoning on various key issues that are to come up for discussions in the House.
According to the Congress sources, the party MLAs had discussed multiple issues, including farmers, fertiliser shortage, alleged deteriorating law and order situation, liquor, paddy procurement, school education, elephant menace, "poor" governance among others.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai affirmed that his party is fully prepared to aptly respond and arguably counter the opposition while replying to any issue or ‘false narrative’ they raise in the Assembly. The BJP legislative party also sharpened its strategy to “expose” the opposition
