"I have called a Cabinet Committee on Parliament Affairs tomorrow, where we will discuss the schedule of the forthcoming budget session.

Keeping that in mind, we have decided to meet to discuss the possible and probable dates for the session," Naidu told the media.

"We have also used this occasion of an informal meeting of my cabinet colleagues, where nine ministers were present along with their secretaries, to discuss about the procedures to be followed in bringing bills and replacing ordinances on various subjects: the insurance bill, coal bill, mines and minerals bill, land acquisition bill, citizenship amendment bill," he added.
