Ahead of the budget session of Parliament, Congress leaders took a dig at the government, saying it ‘failed’ to circulate its legislative agenda.
Congress leader K Suresh said at the all-party meeting, leaders questioned the lack of a legislative agenda outlining the bills the government seeks to table. However, Union ministers attending the meeting said the agenda will be circulated later. They told those in attendance that the first part of the session will focus on debate on the Motion of Thanks and discussion on the Union Budget.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh chaired the customary meeting convened ahead of the session. The Union Budget will be presented on February 1.
The first part of the session will continue till February 13 during which the Motion of Thanks will be discussed and passed. A discussion on the Union Budget will also be taken up. After a recess, the Houses will reconvene on March 9 and the session will conclude on April 2.
