Next legislative session in Belagavi in Dec

Bengaluru: Assembly Speaker Vishveshwara Hegde Kageri said that the next legislative session will be held in Belagavi’s Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in December.

Addressing presspersons Kageri said there is a demand from several quarters to hold the next session in Belagavi.

He further added that even the State Government is keen on conducting the session in Suvarna Soudha.

“I have directed the authorities concerned to make necessary preparations for the same,” he said.

The Speaker said he has proposed to set aside one day for the Opposition parties to raise and discuss issues. “On this day, no government-related works or Bill will be taken up,” he added.

The State Government spends Rs 5 crore each year for its upkeep. In the last decade, only seven sessions have been held in Belagavi so far.
