Chhattisgarh Monsoon Session: Congress Prepares to Confront BJP

The Congress party is fully engaged in preparations for the forthcoming monsoon session of the Chhattisgarh Assembly. A significant meeting of the Congress Legislative Party is scheduled for July 13 at 4 PM at Rajiv Bhavan in Raipur. The meeting will be chaired by the Leader of the Opposition, Dr. Charandas Mahant. The primary goal of the meeting is to finalize a strategy to challenge the BJP government during the monsoon session, which begins on July 14. It’s understood that the Congress is preparing to question the government on numerous pressing issues. Key areas of focus will be the proposed 8-12% increase in electricity tariffs, the deteriorating condition of health and education services, the alleged 3200 crore liquor scam and administrative corruption, and the problems affecting agricultural schemes and the neglect of farmers. With several key events unfolding in Chhattisgarh’s political landscape recently, this monsoon session is anticipated to be highly charged. The Congress intends to adopt an aggressive approach, while the ruling BJP is also formulating its counter-strategies. Furthermore, the meeting will discuss organizational aspects and improved coordination amongst legislators. The meeting will also ensure regional issues are effectively addressed in the assembly. This meeting is considered vital for the Congress in terms of the upcoming session, along with the impending local body and Panchayat elections.
