With the Bihar polls over, the government will on Monday take a call on Parliament’s winter session as it pitches for the passage of a host of reform legislations, including the GST Bill.
Sources said that the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA), chaired by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, will meet today in Parliament House to decide the dates of winter session, which usually begins in third week of December.
With the last session a virtual washout, the government is keen to take up important legislations in parliament like GST bill, land bill, the real estate regulation and development bill and negotiable instruments arbitration bill.
The winter session will happen in the backdrop of the BJP suffering a massive defeat in Bihar, which has further emboldened the opposition. The session as such is expected to begin on a stormy note, with the opposition is likely to corner the government on issues like the return of awards by writers and filmmakers, the Dadri beef lynching and other related incidents.
