Budget Session of Parliament likely to conclude before 27 March Assembly polls, says report

New Delhi: The Budget session of Parliament is likely to be cut short and may conclude before the first phase of elections on 27 March, while the two Houses will resume their normal timing of 11 am onwards from Tuesday, sources said.

Several parties had requested that the session, which was originally scheduled to continue till 8 April, be curtailed due to the five Assembly elections being held in eight phases till 29 April.

While Rajya Sabha Chairperson M Venkaiah Naidu announced the new timings for the Upper House on the first day of the second part of the Budget session, sources said Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla will make a similar announcement later in the day. A final decision on curtailment of the session will also be taken by Birla, who met floor leaders of various parties on the matter earlier in the day.
