Maharashtra Assembly Monsoon Session: Monsoon Session of Maharashtra Assembly Begins Today
The monsoon session of the Maharashtra state legislature commences today and is scheduled to continue until July 18. With a packed agenda and rising political temperatures, the session is expected to witness vigorous debates and confrontations between the ruling coalition and the opposition.
The opposition parties are preparing to launch a strong offensive against the government on several key issues that have stirred political controversy across the state. Tensions have already surfaced, as evidenced by the ruling party’s decision to boycott the traditional tea party held on the eve of the session—a symbolic gesture that reflects deepening political rifts.
Several contentious matters are likely to dominate discussions in the legislative assembly. The opposition is set to question the government over its recent U-turn on making the Hindi language compulsory, the status and promises related to the Shaktipeeth highway project, and unfulfilled commitments to farmers. Additionally, schemes such as Ladki Bahin and delays or gaps in development works are expected to draw scrutiny.
Allegations of corruption and controversial statements regarding the condition of farmers have further intensified the political atmosphere ahead of the session. Legislators are bracing for a stormy period marked by high-decibel debates and pointed accusations.
As the 19-day session unfolds, it is anticipated that both the treasury benches and the opposition will engage in sharp exchanges, with public welfare, policy reversals, and governance accountability at the center of the political crossfire. All eyes will be on how the state government navigates the criticism while advancing its legislative agenda.
