MP budget session from tomorrow;Cong to raise farmers' issues

Madhya Pradesh Assembly's budget session will commence here tomorrow where the Opposition Congress will take on the state BJP government over the issue of compensation to farmers.
The session will begin with the customary address of Governor Ram Naresh Yadav.
State Finance Minister Jayant Mallaiya will present the state budget for 2016-17 during the session, which will last till April 1.
Deputy Leader of Congress Legislature Party (CLP), Bala Bachchan said that Congress will try to corner the government on the issue of farmers who have not yet received any compensation despite tall claims by the government.
"Though the state government had claimed during farmers' convention recently that it has given record compensation to all the affected farmers, it is hollow and we will corner the ruling party on the issue," he said.

"Neither their interest on loans were waived off, nor their power dues. Instead they were getting hefty bills for their electricity connection," Bachchan alleged.

The Congress is also likely to raise the issue of alleged scam in district co-operative banks in many districts.
The party will also raise the issue of derecognition of nearly 1,600 private schools by the government affecting more than two lakh students in the state.
Assembly's Principal Secretary Bhagwan Dev Israni told PTI, "We have made all preparations for running the budget session in a smooth manner."
"So far, we have received 6,500 questions and nearly 100 notices for call attention motion from the members of the House," he added.
