The Maharashtra Assembly’s Monsoon Session will witness a pause as proceedings will not be conducted for two consecutive days, July 31 and August 1.
The decision has been met with criticism from the Opposition, which claims it is influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Pune on August 1.
“The intention behind the government’s decision to give this break is not very clear. The government is unable to give a concrete answer as to what kind of emergency has caused it to suspend the sessions for two days,” Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president Nana Patole said. “Questions are being asked if this break has been announced as their ‘master’ from Delhi is coming to Pune to attend a programme,” he said.
