Overview
- The three‑week monsoon session begins Monday and will run from June 22 to July 10, marking the window for floor debate on relief measures, new laws and budgetary demands.
- Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders skipped the customary pre‑session tea and handed a six‑page memorandum that said the Leader of Opposition posts in both Houses remain vacant and listed drought, loan‑waiver exclusions and alleged procurement and welfare irregularities.
- Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the government will introduce about 10 bills, defended a Rs 36,585 crore crop loan waiver it says will help 56 lakh farmers, and announced a bill to grant legal status to women farmers so they can access land‑linked benefits directly.
- Officials warned of an El Niño‑linked crisis with June rainfall roughly 80% below normal in parts of the state and reservoir storage near 24%, prompting a government advisory to delay sowing and limits on irrigation to protect drinking supplies.
- Political control of the agenda is tangible: the ruling Mahayuti holds numerical strength, rumours of 'Operation Tiger' defections and a likely council deputy‑chair election sharpen the session’s stakes for legislative checks and accountability.
