Manohar Lal KhattarCHANDIGARH: With seven bills, including the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA) Amendment Bill, to be tabled in the assembly, the budget session is expected to last for 14 days.
Starting from February 20 with the governor’s address, the budget session will go up to March 5, sources said on Sunday, adding that Haryana’s finance minister Capt Abhimanyu was scheduled to present budget estimates on February 26. The finance minister has started giving the final touches to the document as this would be the last budget of the Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government in the state. Earlier, the budget was expected to be presented in February as the session was to last till last week.
Sources said that following the discussion of assembly speaker Kanwar Pal Gujjar with Khattar and other senior ministers and MLA, it was decided to extend the session till March. They stated that besides PLPA Amendment Bill 2019, other bills which are likely to be tabled on the last day of the session include Haryana Service Rules of Engineers, Public Health and Engineering Amendment Bill, Shri Durga Mata Banbhori Shrine Bill, Accountability of Public Finance Bill, Haryana Law amendment Bill, Statutory business Bill and Haryana Service Security of Guest Teachers Bill.
This is a tentative programme and will be finalised after the business advisory committee will put its final seal. The committee will be meeting prior to the commencement of the budget session. The session is likely to be stormy as INLD MLAs will be down by two due to death of Hari Chand Midha and Pehowa MLA Jaswinder Singh Sandhu. The BJP will have one more MLA i.e. Krishan Midha from Jind. Both INLD and Congress have moved the calling attention motion over the issues of farmers, law and order and crime against women.
“Since we are the only opposition party left in Haryana as INLD plays as B team of the BJP, hence, we have moved a number of calling attention motions. It is up to the speaker now. We shall raise issues of public interest,” said CLP leader Kiran Choudhary.
