Winter session to unravel previous UP govt’s performance

Lucknow, Nov 28: The state government is planning to introduce new legislations during the winter session of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly and table Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports on the performance of various departments during the previous Samajwadi Party government. 

The winter session will commence on December 14.
Though the number of sittings of the winter session was yet to be decided, officials hinted it would be a brief session.
The session would witness passage of Yogi Adityanath government’s first supplementary budget, besides several important Bills.
This would be the third sitting of the state legislature after BJP came to power in March last.
During the session, the Yogi government is likely to bring new legislations for UP Control of Organised Crime Act (UPCOCA), Prayraj Mela Authority Act, changes in mining policy and several Bills related to industrial development and other matters.
The government could also bring a Bill to check the spiral in fees being charged by private educational institutions in the state.
However, the winter session of the state legislature will clash with the dates of IAS Week, which also starts on December 14. The four-day event had already been approved by the chief minister.
The role of the Opposition in the winter session was still not clear as opposition parties had boycotted the last few sittings of the previous session. 
Congress legislature party leader Ajay Kumar Lalu told UNI on Tuesday that opposition leaders will sit together and decide the strategy for the winter session.UNI
