The upcoming budget session of Parliament is likely to be a boisterous one with a lot of controversial issues that will be raised by the opposition. Although the Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi has stated that the Modi government is ready to face all the issues, the opposition is sharpening its knives. The session is important, as it is the first session of the year in 2021. It is being held amidst the pandemic COVID-19.
The Session will commence on January 29 and the Union Budget will be presented on February 1. The session will conclude by April 8, with a recess of 20 days between February 15 and March 8. All COVID protocols will be in place.
