The monsoon session of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, set to begin on September 18, is expected to be a stormy one as the ruling Congress and the principal opposition BJP are drawing up plans to match against each other on various issues, including the ‘management and mismanagement’ surrounding adverse climate-linked events in the State.
While the BJP plans to corner the Congress by raising the issue of ‘failure’ of the government in managing the situation on the ground following the recent spells of heavy rains, the Congress, on the other hand, is assertive that the relief works were carried out on a war footing by the State, and instead it is the BJP-led Central government that has been non-cooperative towards the hill State in the time of need.
The monsoon session of the Assembly will end on September 25.
