The Chhattisgarh Assembly's winter session begins on Monday, and it is expected to be a tumultuous one, with the opposition BJP seeking to corner the Bhupesh Baghel government over alleged fake religious conversions and paddy procurement issues.
On the opening day of the winter session, tributes to CDS General Bipin Rawat and 12 others killed in a helicopter crash on December 8, and six departed politicians, including MLA Devvrat Singh, will be on the agenda. An Assembly official said on Sunday that the session will take place as part of the COVID-19 guidelines.
The BJP will corner the state government on several issues during the session, including the Kawardha flare-up on October 3 over the removal of religious flags, religious conversion, corruption and irregularities in paddy procurement, as well as deteriorating law and order in the state, according to Leader of Opposition Dharamlal Kaushik. The ruling Congress has blamed the BJP for the violence in Kawardha, with BJP MP Santosh Pandey and former legislator Abhishek Singh being among those alleged in the FIR in the incident.
