Monsoon Session2025: Maharashtra Legislative Assembly session to begin from June 30

The Monsoon Session of the Maharashtra State Legislature is scheduled to be held in Mumbai from June 30 to July 18, 2025. As the state prepares for this critical legislative gathering, it remains uncertain whether the session will begin without a designated Leader of the Opposition, raising questions about political dynamics in the Assembly.

This nearly three-week-long session is expected to witness intense debates and sharp exchanges between the ruling coalition and the opposition on several pressing state issues. Prominent among them is the controversial topic of imposing Hindi as a compulsory language, which is likely to stir strong resistance from parties advocating for the primacy of Marathi in administrative and educational spheres.

Key topics slated for discussion include:

• Farmer loan waivers

• The state’s evolving education policy

• The development of the Shakti Peeth Highway

• Upcoming local body and municipal elections

• Women’s safety

• Caste-wise census

• Shortcomings in the healthcare sector

• Rising unemployment

• Road and rail accidents and public safety concerns

In preparation for the session, a traditional tea party will be hosted on the eve of the opening day, where members of various parties are expected to informally discuss the legislative agenda. The session schedule and agenda were finalized during a meeting of the Legislative Affairs Advisory Committee. Officials emphasized the need for comprehensive debate and actionable resolutions during the proceedings.

Prominent leaders expected to attend include:

• Rahul Narwekar, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly

• Ram Shinde, Chairman of the Legislative Council

• Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister

• Ajit Pawar, Deputy Chief Minister

• Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister

• Legislative leaders from major opposition parties

With the opposition expected to challenge the government on several fronts, the ruling alliance will have to prepare detailed responses and defend its track record. The upcoming session is being viewed as a key political battleground ahead of the state’s next round of local and municipal elections.
