The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab Government's maiden Budget session will commence in Chandigarh on Friday, with opposition parties gearing up to launch an offensive against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over law and order and other issues.
Members of the House will assemble on Friday for obituary references and motion of thanks on the Governor's address, followed by a discussion on it. Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema will present the Budget for 2022-23 on June 27, and the general discussion on the Budget will take place thereafter. According to the tentative schedule, the Budget session will continue till June 30.
Opposition Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) have targeted the Mann government over alleged deteriorating law and order situation, especially in the wake of last month's gruesome killing of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
