Govt likely to introduce 20 bills in budget session
Description
NEW DELHI: The government is expected to introduce as many as 20 new bills in the Budget session and take up for consideration and passage at least seven others that were referred to standing committees after being introduced in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. While the presentation of the Budget and discussions that follow will be key to the session, Parliament will also discuss the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address, where the opposition is likely to raise the issue of the farmers’ protest and demand a repeal of the three farm laws. “The opposition parties’ decision to boycott the President’s Address was merely to show solidarity with farmers. However, when the Motion of Thanks is discussed, we’ll certainly raise the issues of farmers because this was a part of the President’s speech,” a senior Congress member said. In terms of priority, the Motion of Thanks to the President’s speech is expected to be the first business to be taken up after the Budget is presented.
