UP Legislature Monsoon session will commence from first week of August

The proposed Monsoon session of Uttar Pradesh Legislature would commence from the first week of August. This time, the sitting of Legislative Council or Upper House will be held in Tilak Hall as the present House was under renovation.

This would be for the first time in the history of UP’s legislature that any House proceedings will take place in another place instead of its original venue.

The decision to hold the meeting of Upper House at Tilak hall was taken during an all party meeting called by Council chairman in Lucknow.

Sources said, “The renovation of the House will take around two more months to complete, hence there was a proposal to hold the Monsoon session at Tilak Hall by members.” 

However, Congress leader in the Upper House Deepak Singh blamed the Estate department for delaying renovation work of the House leading to change in place of sitting.

Earlier, it was suggested that the Legislative Council could also sit in the Assembly, but was rejected by Council members.

 The Yogi government is slated to bring its first supplementary budget during the Monsoon session and approve several Bills for which Ordinances have been issued
