Kerala Assembly session expected to be stormy


Sunday, September 25, 2011: The second session of the 13th Kerala assembly beginning tomorrow is expected to be stormy with the CPM-led LDF opposition turning the heat on UDF Government headed by Oommen Chandy over a host of issues.

More than a month-long session will mainly consider the full budgetary demands for grants for the current year and pass the Finance Bill.
The House will take up the Kerala Government Land Assignment (Amendment) Bill on the opening day against the background the government’s assurance to make title deeds of the settlers in hill areas condition-free. The other Bill listed for consideration on Monday is Kerala Local Authorities Loan (Amendment) Bill.
The session is likely to be stormy with the Opposition raising issues such as the palmolein case, increase in price of fuel and fever outbreak besides corruption charges against ministers. The Opposition would content that the government was manipulating the palmolein case to save Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
The Chief Minister will be coming to the Assembly after what is described as a successful visit to Delhi to win the demands of the State on the developmental front, though the results could be evaluated only on the long-term.
