Tripura parliamentary affairs minister Ratan Lal Nath
on Thursday said the week-long Budget Session of the Tripura Assembly
will begin from Friday with the customary speech of the state Governor.
Parliamentary
affairs minister Nath also said Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki would
address the Budget Session of the Assembly on the inaugural day.
An Outlook India
report quoted Nath, who also holds the law, education and other
backward communities portfolio, as saying: “Deputy Chief Minister (also
Finance Minister) Jishnu Dev Varma will lay the budget for the upcoming
fiscal 2019-20 on the second day of the session on Monday.”
During
the Budget Session, which will continue till March 1, a number of
important bills would be tabled, informed parliamentary affairs minister
Nath.
It has been reported that chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb-led
BJP-IPFT government is likely to face a stormy session with the CPI(M)
legislators getting ready to raise several vital issues.
Opposition
Communist Party of India-Marxist legislators are expected to raise the
issues of political violence, government jobs and crisis of school
teachers, the report says.
The report also quoted deputy
opposition leader of the Assembly, Badal Choudhury as saying: “A severe
crisis of food and rural jobs is putting the people in the rural,
interior and tribal areas in a harsh distress condition while the state
government remains inactive and busy with other non-serious issues.”
Choudhury
also said that their legislature party will meet in the evening today
(Thursday) to decide the strategies for the upcoming Budget Session.
Under
the Bharatiya Janata Party-Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura
(BJP-IPFT) regime, this will be the third session of the Tripura
Assembly.
The BJP-IPFT alliance came to power on March 9, 2018
trouncing the two-decade long CPI-M-led Left Front government in the
last Assembly polls.
