Monsoon session of Gujarat Assembly from Sept 8 to 10
The monsoon session of the 15th Gujarat Assembly will be held from September 8 to 10.
The session was called by Governor Acharya Devvrat.
Sharing details of the session, Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary on Friday said a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee will be held on September 6 in which detailed business of the three-day session will be discussed. The Speaker added that the MLAs can give notice of their questions by August 20.
Chaudhary said that the government will bring two Bills to replace the two ordinances related to Goods & Services Tax and Factories Act promulgated by it.
This will be the first session of the Assembly after the June 12 Ahmedabad plane crash in which former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among 260 people killed. The House is expected to pay tributes to Rupani and other plane crash victims and other former members of the House who have died since the last session of the House. The session will also have two new members, Visavadar MLA Gopal Italia of Aam Aadmi Party and Kadi MLA Rajendra Chavda of the BJP, who were elected in the June 19 bypolls. Both Italia and Chavda are first time MLAs.
The AAP is expected to pick its Whip in the House before the session as Botad MLA Umesh Makwana resigned from the post criticising the party for allegedly ignoring the interests of OBC/SC/ST communities.
