Govt. cites COVID for truncated sitting
The Maharashtra government on Tuesday said the monsoon session of the State legislature will be held for only two days in Mumbai due to the pandemic. Opposition BJP has criticised the move, saying the government was running away from its responsibility. The Business Advisory Committee (BAC) held its meeting on Tuesday to decide on details of the monsoon session. The BJP boycotted the meeting over the manner in which the decision to hold a truncated session was taken. “Today, we (BJP leaders) met the ruling coalition to decide the schedule for the monsoon session of the State legislature. We were surprised to see the government is planning to hold the session for two days only. We decided to walk out of the BAC meeting in protest against the government's plan to hold the session for such a short duration,” said former CM Devendra Fadnavis.More Related News
