Raipur, June 17 || The Monsoon Session of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly will commence on July 14, signalling an important phase in the state's ongoing legislative affairs.
Scheduled to run until July 18, the session will comprise a total of five sittings. This will be the sixth Monsoon Session of the current Assembly and is expected to be the final one held in the existing Assembly building in Raipur, as the new legislative complex in Nava Raipur nears completion. The session is anticipated to be politically charged, with both the ruling and opposition parties preparing to raise critical issues.
The opposition, particularly the Congress party, is expected to mount a strong challenge to the BJP-led government, focusing on what it describes as 17 months of administrative shortcomings. Key issues, including agriculture, fertiliser shortages, law and order concerns, rationalisation of schools and the overall performance of the government since taking office, are likely to dominate the discussions during the session.
In preparation for the session, legislators have submitted a substantial number of questions, many of which have been filed through the Assembly’s digital portal. This shift to a more digital format has reportedly increased legislative engagement and efficiency, with members actively participating in the question-and-answer process.
