Maharashtra’s Short Nagpur Winter Session Set for Dec 8–14

The week was trimmed for local-body election timelines, with both Houses starting without a Leader of the Opposition.

Overview

  • The Business Advisory Committee finalized the one-week schedule and approved sittings on Saturday and Sunday to complete the curtailed agenda.
  • The government plans to fast-track essential bills and supplementary demands while highlighting its development record and a roughly ₹32,000 crore flood-relief package.
  • Officials cite a high-level committee on crop loan waivers and have signalled a decision on waivers by June 2026.
  • The Opposition will push for a 'wet drought' declaration and a comprehensive loan waiver, question alleged irregularities in local-body polls and EVM handling, and raise the Pune/Mundwa land case naming Parth Pawar.
  • Critics argue the shortened timetable limits scrutiny, and reporting points to heavy spending on Nagpur beautification estimated at around ₹100 crore.
