The budget session of the Bihar legislature beginning from today is expected to be stormy. Finance Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav will present the 2014-2015 budget on 30th June. The session, which will end on July 31 will have 24 sittings. The main opposition BJP is likely to target the government on various issues like law and order and power situation. The session will be the first major challenge for new Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, who was nominated by Nitish Kumar to succeed him. It would also be interesting to see how JD(U), RJD and Congress which voted in favour of Jitan Ram Manjhi government, would coordinate to face the BJP onslaught.
