Leaders of the opposition are likely to raise inflation and the second Covid wave during the session.

Both houses will meet simultaneously and proceedings will begin at 11 a.m. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, parliament has been unable to convene three sessions, and last winter’s session had to be cancelled.

Due to the raging pandemic, the monsoon session began in September last year, instead of July.
