Chhattisgarh Governor asks state for reasons seeking 2-day special assembly session

Chhattisgarh Governor Anusuiya Uikey has returned the Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress government’s proposal seeking to convene a two-day special session of the state legislative assembly on October 27 and 28. She has urged the state government to explicitly spell out the reasons behind holding the special session of the assembly amid the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak. An official posted at Raj Bhawan said that the Governor Uikey wanted to know the topic of the special session of the assembly. “The Governor wanted to know the topic since there was no mention of it in the state government’s proposal,” said the official.
