Winter session of Parliament will begin tomorrow. 38 bills are slated for passage during the brief session. These include Lokpal, Women Reservation, Telangana and Street Vendors Bills. The session will conclude on 20th of this month.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said the Bills, which are already passed in one House of Parliament but pending in another House, are likely to be passed in the forthcoming session.
The ensuing session is likely to be stormy as the main Opposition BJP could raise issues like coal scam and alleged misuse of investigation and intelligence agencies. Left parties intend to bring an adjournment motion on price rise while the ruling Congress may raise snooping incident revolving around Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Formation of Telangana and Communal Violence Bill are expected to raise political temperature during the winter session as they are hanging fire. For smooth conduct of business, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has sought cooperation of all political parties. This will be the last working session of the present Lok Sabha which will go to polls in early 2014.
