Basavaraj Bommai set to face his first House session as Chief Minister
The Hindu
Opposition likely to raise several pressing issues during session starting tomorrow.
Armed with victories in a good number of seats in the recent elections to urban local bodies, the Basavaraj Bommai-led government is bracing for its first 10-day legislature session starting Monday. This also comes amidst discontent in a section of the BJP over the formation of the Cabinet and allocation of portfolios. In an embarrassing twist on Saturday, disgruntled MLA Srimanth Patil said he was offered money to join the BJP from the Congress, which he did not accept since he was keen on a “suitable position”. This and a number of other issues the State is grappling with — including price rise, management of floods, and effects of COVID-19 and alleged hushing up of deaths during the second wave — are expected to prepare the stage for a confrontation with the Opposition, especially the Congress, in the session.
