Budget Session: Over 600 questions received so far

Saturday, 22 February 2020 | PNS | Dehradun

Even as suspense continues on the duration of the upcoming Budget Session, the secretariat of the Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha has received more than 600 questions for the Session. The Budget Session of the Assembly is slated to start at Gairsain from March 3. The Vidhan Sabha secretary, Jagdish Chandra, told The Pioneer that the Secretariat would continue receiving the questions and they are accepted during the session also.

He said that about 20 starred questions are taken up during the question hours on each day of the session. In the last budget session which was held at Dehradun, a total of 710 questions were placed by the members during the session.

The considerable number of questions placed by the members for the budget session is a good indication but it is unlikely that there questions would be taken up for discussions. The state administration has prepared a plan for a five day budget session from March 3 to March 7. On the inaugural day of session only the address of the Governor would be held which means that the question hour would be organised on only four days.

 It is pertinent to mention here that the state government is drawing criticism from various quarters for short duration of the budget session this time. After the criticism, the Speaker of the Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha, Prem Chand Agarwal held discussions with the chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on the issue. In the meeting the CM said that the budget session can be extended after the festival of Holi if required. In such a situation, the state government can convene the budget session in two parts.

In the first part, the budget would be placed at Gairsain while in second the budget would be passed in Dehradun. If it happens then it would be the first session in the history of the state where one session would be organised at two places.
