PANAJI: The state cabinet on Wednesday decided to summon the monsoon session of the Goa legislative assembly from July 28, chief minister Pramod Sawant said.
The full budget would be passed in this session.
The session is likely to be stormy because of various burning issues, as well as because it’s the last full-fledged session ahead of the assembly polls early next year.
The opposition is likely to work out all strategies including floor management to corner the state government on issues like law and order, Covid management, resumption of mining activities, the three linear projects at Mollem, double tracking, and coal handling, among others.
In May, governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had prorogued the 14th budget session from May 12.
In March, the state legislative assembly session was cut short by over two weeks and adjourned till July 19 after the state election commission declared the schedule for the second phase of the municipal elections, bringing into force the model code of conduct.
All pending business of the house which was listed for the coming days, including the discussion on the budgetary demands and private members’ bills submitted by the opposition, were earlier decided to be taken up for discussion and consideration in July, after the session resumes.
