The Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly is set to convene its Monsoon session from Monday, 14 July 2026, running through 17 July across five sittings, officials confirmed. The session is expected to be combative, with the Opposition Indian National Congress (Congress) signalling an aggressive push against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government on multiple fronts.
VB-G RAM G Scheme to Be Tabled
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma is scheduled to present a landmark rural employment scheme before the Assembly on the opening day. The scheme, formally titled the 'Viksit Bharat-Guarantee Mission for Employment and Livelihood (Rural) — VB-G RAM G Scheme, Chhattisgarh', was notified on 25 June 2026 under the provisions of the VB-G RAM G Act, 2025. Its introduction marks one of the session's most anticipated legislative moments, as it directly addresses rural livelihoods across the state.
Session Structure and Legislative Business
The first four days of the session will be largely devoted to Question Hour and essential government financial business, giving legislators a structured opportunity to seek ministerial accountability on administrative matters. A total of 1,033 questions have already been submitted to the Assembly Secretariat, spanning a wide range of departments — a figure that signals the depth of scrutiny legislators intend to apply.
The session will conclude on 17 July, with the final two-and-a-half hours reserved for private members' resolutions and Bills, providing non-government lawmakers a platform to raise independent legislative proposals.
Congress to Corner BJP on Key Issues
The Congress has indicated it will mount sustained pressure on the BJP government across several contentious areas. Agricultural distress is expected to dominate early proceedings, with particular focus on the availability of seeds and fertilisers for farmers ahead of the kharif season.
Other flashpoints include law and order, illegal sand mining, frequent power outages, the rollout of smart electricity meters, and the contentious bulldozer action in Nakti village. Political observers anticipate sharp exchanges as the Congress seeks to highlight governance gaps, while the BJP government is expected to defend its record and showcase policy achievements.
Broader Context
The session arrives at a moment when rural livelihood concerns and urban infrastructure pressures are high on the public agenda in Chhattisgarh. The tabling of the VB-G RAM G Scheme underscores the government's intent to anchor its rural development narrative ahead of what is expected to be a politically charged legislative week. This comes amid broader national debates on employment guarantees and state-level rural welfare frameworks.
All eyes will be on how the BJP government defends its legislative record and whether the Congress can translate its stated aggression into substantive accountability on the floor of the House.
Point of View
033 questions already filed, the Opposition has clearly done its homework. The real test is whether the scheme's design — notified just weeks ago — holds up to scrutiny on funding mechanisms, beneficiary identification, and implementation timelines. Chhattisgarh's rural economy, heavily dependent on kharif agriculture and forest livelihoods, needs more than a well-named scheme; it needs verifiable delivery. The bulldozer action in Nakti village, if aggressively raised, could also shift the session's narrative from development to rights — an arena where the BJP government will find it harder to pivot.
