Budget Session of Bihar legislature to begin today

Patna: In Bihar, the Budget Session of the state legislature will begin today. The session will commence with the address of the Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to the joint sitting of the State Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council in the Central Hall.

The Budget Session will conclude on 5th April. 22 sittings are scheduled to be held during over a month-long session.

The Economic Survey of Bihar will be tabled today in the Legislative Assembly. State finance minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary will present



the General Budget for Financial Year 2023-24 in the Lower House tomorrow.

After the breakup of the NDA coalition in Bihar in August 2022 this will be the first budget of the Grand Alliance (GA) government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.  

The Session is likely to be stormy as opposition BJP is geared up to corner the Nitish Kumar-led government over deteriorating law and order situation, recent deaths in hooch tragedies in the state and several other issues.
