The Haryana Assembly's Budget Session is likely to begin on a stormy note tomorrow, with the opposition looking to corner the BJP government over several issues, including that of the Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal and law and order.
The session will commence with the address of Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki.
The Budget estimates for 2018-2019 are likely to be presented on March 12 and according to a tentative schedule, the session will last till March 16, official sources said.
However, the Business Advisory Committee of the Haryana Assembly will take a final call on duration of the budget session, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar told reporters here today.
Leader of the Opposition (INLD) Abhay Singh Chautala said his party would move an adjournment motion for a debate on the SYL issue.
To put pressure on the Centre to complete the canal to enable Haryana's share of river water, the INLD will also hold an 'Adhikar rally' in Delhi on March 7.
Ahead of the Budget Session, the Haryana Congress Legislature Party held a meeting in Delhi at the residence of former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
CLP leader Kiran Choudhary said the Khattar government had failed on all fronts including on the farmers' issue, law and order front, in giving jobs and fulfilling the "tall promises" it had made to the public.
Hooda said every section of society was fed up with this government.
"They have done nothing for the past three-and-a-half years except event management. Farmers, employees, traders, youths, you name any section of society, everyone is fed up with their misrule," he alleged, and added that the Congress would raise important issues in the Assembly.
