Punjab prepares for Monsoon Session amid chaos

Punjab government has started with the preparations for the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, scheduled for the last week of August. The session is expected to be brief, lasting only 2-3 days, as the current administration has no significant legislative business pending. There are no bills awaiting discussion, and no major debates are anticipated at this time.

This session will feature a notable shift in the opposition landscape due to recent changes in party affiliations during the Lok Sabha elections. Raj Kumar Chhabewal, formerly with the Congress, has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and won the Lok Sabha seat from Chhabewal constituency with 47,375 votes. Similarly, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has secured a Lok Sabha seat representing Ludhiana. Consequently, only a few opposition figures will remain in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.
