The first part of the Budget Session will be held from January 31 to February 11 after which it will go into the recess to examine the budgetary allocations for different departments. The Session would resume on March 14 and conclude on April 8. The Budget Session is taking place amid a heated election campaign in five states – Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa, and Manipur – which go to polls in seven phases from February 10 to March 7. The main opposition Congress has declared that it will reach out to like-minded parties to raise issues such as farm distress, Chinese ”incursions”, demand for a relief package for COVID-19 victims, sale of Air India, and the Pegasus snooping row during the session. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu are set to chair separate meetings with floor leaders of political parties on Monday to ensure smooth functioning of the House during the session.
