The Parliament starts its budget session today which may continue up to 22nd May. It is a most important session, since the Annual Budget as also Railway Budget are presented in this session and adopted after serious discussion. A lot of questions will be raised by the Members, which it is the responsibility of the concerned Ministers to reply.

In the present session, there are a lot of important issues that will be raised in the Parliament by the opposition parties. Corruption charges, whether 2G scam, CWG scam, Adarsh scam, Antrix-Dewas deal or such other scams will naturally raised by the opposition. Blackmoney put in foreign banks is another issue. The government, despite getting the list of such hoarders from the foreign banks, is not prepared to release the details to the public, for reasons well known to them. There will be strong protest if the government insists on putting the PFRDA and FDI in multi-retail for adoption. The proposal for aggressive disinvestment of PSU shares will be strongly opposed by the Left and likeminded parties.

There will be an echo of the demands of the 28th February strike organised by all the central trade unions which was one of the biggest strikes in the country so far. The fluid political situation after the debacle of the Congress in the UP assembly elections will certainly have its shadow in this session which may create new political equations.

Anyhow, the budget session will be a stormy session, no doubt about it.
