Is the Monsoon Session of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Starting Tomorrow?

Bhopal, July 27 (NationPress) The monsoon session of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly is set to begin on Monday (July 28) and will run until August 8, 2025.

This session, featuring a demanding 12-day agenda with 10 sittings, is expected to spark intense debates on critical issues, as the opposition gears up to confront the government regarding the power crisis, escalating inflation, transfer policies, and farmers' challenges, particularly the fertilizer shortage affecting multiple regions.

Principal Secretary AP Singh noted that the Assembly Secretariat has received a significant number of inquiries—3,377 in total, consisting of 1,718 starred and 1,659 unstarred questions—many of which were submitted digitally, showcasing a shift towards increased online participation by lawmakers. Additionally, members have put forth 226 call attention motions, one adjournment motion, 23 private resolutions, 65 Zero Hour notices, and a single Rule 139 notice.

The government is set to introduce three new Bills during this session.

Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar, after evaluating the Assembly facilities on Sunday, assured that all necessary arrangements have been made for a smooth and orderly session. He remarked, “No new restrictions have been implemented,” in light of recent orders that banned protests and slogans within the Assembly grounds—an action that has been heavily criticized by the opposition Congress party as an effort to stifle democratic expression.

The Speaker refrained from discussing particular limitations regarding access to the premises.

Political tensions are likely to escalate as opposition parties refine their tactics to hold the ruling government accountable for significant governance issues. In retaliation, the government has prepared its counter-arguments, emphasizing its initiatives and accomplishments.

Betul MLA Hemant Khandelwal, who was recently named the new state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, will take a seat in the front row—signifying his enhanced role in both party and legislative matters.

Security measures have also been heightened. The Assembly Secretariat has issued a notice prohibiting unauthorized access to the premises and lobby areas, warning members against bringing guests without prior approval, either on foot or in vehicles.

As the session begins, all eyes will be on the unfolding narrative conflict between the treasury and opposition benches, with governance, accountability, and public welfare taking the forefront.
