The monsoon session of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly is likely to be held between Aug 21 and 23. The state’s spokesperson minister Rushikesh Patel said that the session was discussed in the state cabinet meeting and the date for a three-day short session was discussed. It is planned to start the session from Aug 21 and end on 23.

Some important bills will be introduced in this session and other administrative work will be completed. The monsoon session is usually held in September but moved to August due to the early budget session this year during the Lok Sabha elections.

On July 16, the Opposition Congress demanded a 10-day session of the Legislative Assembly to discuss the land scams of the state before the Speaker. 

Amit Chavda, leader of the Congress in the assembly, wrote a letter to Speaker of the Gujarat Assembly Shankar Chaudhary demanding convening a 10-day assembly session over the issue of frequent land scams prevailing in Gujarat.

Chavda addressed the media, saying, “The Gujarat government always stays away from the debate and tries to shorten the assembly sessions. There will only be a two-day session because of the rules. We demand that at least a 10-day assembly session be called on the issues and problems of Gujarat.
