It’s noteworthy that the previous monsoon session of Parliament, which concluded the prior month, was conducted within the confines of the old Parliament building. This announcement of a Special Session has taken many within political circles by surprise, particularly considering that several parties are gearing up for upcoming assembly elections in five states later this year.
Traditionally, the winter session of Parliament commences towards the last week of November. However, this time it has been decided to hold the conference earlier, ahead of the assembly elections in five states to be held later this year.
