A three-day monsoon session of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly will commence today. However, a question-and-answer session has been omitted in this session, with only government bills open left for debate.

In this monsoon session, the Gujarat Narcotics Amendment Bill-2024, Saurashtra Enumeration and Gharkhed Amendment Bill-2024, and Gujarat Goods and Services Tax Amendment Bill-2024 will be presented. All these are amendment bills.

The only new bill to be presented would be the Gujarat Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil, and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Bill, 2024. 

On the first day of the session, a congratulatory motion will also be passed on Narendra Modi becoming the Prime Minister for the third time. Meanwhile, the opposition will raise issues including the Rajkot fire incident, the recruitment of forest guards, and the killing of two tribal youths.

Following the assembly session, the ruling and opposition parties called a meeting of MLAs late in the evening in which the strategy was formulated. Apart from this, a meeting of the Legislative Affairs Advisory Committee was also held.

Moreover, teachers, forest workers, and Anganwadi workers may also protest with their respective issues. 

Congress’ Nyay Yatra will also coincide with the session, leading to a heavy police presence in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly complex.
