Chhattisgarh Congress to Confront BJP in Monsoon Session: Key Issues Outlined

The Congress party in Chhattisgarh is actively preparing for the forthcoming monsoon session of the state assembly. A strategic meeting of the Congress Legislative Party is set to take place on July 13th in Raipur’s Rajiv Bhavan, commencing at 4 PM. The meeting will be led by the Leader of Opposition, Dr. Charandas Mahant. The main focus will be on devising tactics to challenge the BJP government within the assembly during the monsoon session starting July 14th. The Congress intends to raise several key issues, including a proposed 8-12% hike in electricity tariffs, concerns regarding the healthcare and education sectors, the alleged 3200 crore liquor scam and associated administrative corruption, and issues related to agricultural schemes and farmer welfare. With several significant political events having occurred recently, the monsoon session is anticipated to be intense. The Congress is poised to play a proactive role, while the ruling BJP is also developing its defensive strategies. Furthermore, the meeting will cover organizational matters and ways to enhance coordination among the legislators. Discussions will also revolve around effectively highlighting local and regional issues impacting the public within the assembly. This meeting is considered crucial for the Congress, especially with the upcoming local body and Panchayat elections on the horizon.
