The five-day winter session of Madhya Pradesh Assembly beginning here tomorrow is likely to be a stormy with the main Opposition Congress deciding to corner the government over different issues, including demonetisation and incidents of communal violence in the state.
"We are going to vehemently raise the demonetisation issue which has hit the commoners and farmers hard. Farmers and commoners are living in penury due to shortage of currency and livelihood," acting Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Bala Bachchan told PTI.
He said they are also going to grill the state government over incidents of communal violence.
"Properties and belongings of the minority community had been torched in such acts of communal violence that have been reported from different parts of the state recently," Bachchan alleged.
"We want the government should instill confidence in the minority community and dispel the atmosphere of fear that is lingering over the state," he said.
"Our legislators are going to firmly raise the issue of massive corruption in the conduction of the month-long Simhastha-Kumbh mela in Ujjain last year," said Bachchan, who is going to lead his party in the Assembly due to the demise of Satyadev Katare.
