As temperatures rise metaphorically in Ranchi’s political corridors, the Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha prepares for its budget session opener on February 18. Speaker Ravindra Nath Mahto’s all-party summit Tuesday sealed a pact for orderly deliberations.
Mahto shared insights: exhaustive talks mandated punctual delivery of legislative materials from the government side. Pending questions will see expedited responses, curbing adjournments and filibusters.
Health sector woes and security dynamics featured prominently, with a call for focused house discussions to drive reforms. ‘Let’s prioritize people over politics,’ Mahto implored.
Election duties loom large with nagar panchayat votes on February 23; expect a house holiday to let MLAs multitask effectively.
Reiterating teamwork’s essence, Mahto noted, ‘Democracy thrives on shared responsibility between government and opposition.’
Key players present: CM Hemant Soren, LoP Babulal Marandi, AJSU reps, Congress chief whip, and multi-party delegates, heralding a cooperative session ahead.
