Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Nana Patole on Thursday asked the State government not to prematurely conclude the ongoing Monsoon session of the legislature under the guise of heavy rains.
He said several critical issues need to be discussed in the House and the session should be held for the entire schedule period until August 4. According to him various pressing matters concerning farmers, labourers, youth, women, unemployment, inflation, and more should be addressed during the Session.
While some parts of the State, including Mumbai, have been experiencing heavy rains, half of the State is yet to receive sufficient rainfall, the Congress leader said, adding that the Eknath Shinde government should not use heavy rains as an excuse to cut short the session. “It is necessary to discuss many questions of the people in the House and give justice to people,” Mr. Patole said.
