Congress to Boycott Opening Day of Chhattisgarh Winter Session Over Vision-2047 Agenda

The opposition argues that a standalone Vision-2047 debate sidelines urgent questions of governance.

Overview

  • Congress Legislative Party leader Charan Das Mahant announced that party MLAs will skip the December 14 opening day of the Assembly session.
  • The party objects to the day's sole agenda item, a discussion on 'Chhattisgarh Vision-2047', which it criticizes as hollow and geared toward industrial interests.
  • Leaders also cited a scheduling clash with a Congress rally in Delhi on December 14.
  • The winter session will run December 14–17 with four sittings in the new Assembly building at Nava Raipur Atal Nagar.
  • Congress says it will raise paddy procurement, law and order, and Food and Forest department irregularities during the remaining days, while Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai dismissed the boycott as a personal choice by an 'issue-less' opposition.
