“We have decided—based on demands from the opposition as well—to utilize the weekdays effectively. The session will begin on Friday, March 21, and conclude on April 1. Since this is the budget session, both supplementary and revised budgets will be included. We, in the treasury bench, want more discussions so that it benefits everyone. Our government is committed to development, and suggestions from the opposition are also valuable in this process. That is why we have extended the session to allow for detailed discussions on the 2025-26 Financial Year’s budget. In the coming days, we may consider further increasing the duration of the assembly sessions,” he said.  

Minister Nath also informed that on the very first day, the budget will be presented, followed by the Question Hour. There may be some government bills, but clarity on that is yet to be established.
