On June 19, the MLAs will participate in the Rajya Sabha biennial elections. On the first day of commencement of the Budget Session, that is on June 16, the Government has been planning to ensure the Governor's speech addressing the joint House, including Assembly and Council. The following day, the government will introduce the budget and also move the thanksgiving motion to the Governor's address to the House, according to the sources. The government has been planning to present the Socio Economic Survey and CAG reports also in this Budget Session.
The officials informed that, all these are tentative expected short schedules in order to complete the Budget Session as early as possible in view of the threat posed by the Coronavirus in the State and country. The complete agenda and duration of the Session will be finalized in the ensuring cabinet meeting scheduled on June 11.
