Commencement of Chhattisgarh Assembly’s Monsoon Session: BJP to Propose No-Confidence Motion

Raipur: The Chhattisgarh Assembly is set to convene its four-day Monsoon Session, starting today. The session will kick off with the Question Hour, followed by discussions on various issues of significance. Notably, the opposition BJP has declared its intent to bring a no-confidence motion against the state government on several critical matters, leading to expectations of a heated and intense session.

This Monsoon Session holds particular significance as it will replace the usual winter session, which has been foregone due to the upcoming assembly elections later this year. Consequently, the supplementary budget for the fiscal year 2023-24 will be a key focus during this session. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will present the proposal concerning the demand for this supplementary budget before the Assembly.

Several crucial bills are also on the agenda for this session. The Higher Education Minister is expected to introduce a Bill related to private universities, while Minister Ravindra Choubey will present the Chhattisgarh Legislature Member Redressal Amendment Bill 2023, and Revenue Minister Jaisingh Agarwal will table the Indian Stamp Bill 2023.

A total of 550 ministers will be subjected to 13 questions during this four-day session, allowing for discussions on pressing issues affecting the state. On July 550, the Assembly will engage in deliberations over the no-confidence motion initiated by the opposition BJP. This marks the second time during the tenure of the Bhupesh Baghel government that such a motion has been introduced by the opposition.

Additionally, the government is anticipated to present the Accountant General’s report for the period of 2021-2022 during the session, shedding light on the financial aspects of the state’s affairs.

As the Monsoon Session unfolds, political dynamics and policy discussions are expected to take center stage, reflecting the state’s current concerns and future aspirations. The Assembly members will engage in robust debates, making this session a pivotal event in Chhattisgarh’s legislative calendar.
