There are generally three sessions in a year:</p><ul><li>Budget session (February to May)</li><li>Monsoon session (July to September)</li><li>Winter session (November to December)</li></ul><p>During each session, several meetings are held to discuss ongoing issues, pass bills, etc., to benefit the nation.</p><h5>What can we expect from this session?</h5><figure class="image"><img alt="Opposition.jpg" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/newsahoot.appspot.com/Opposition_7a227dd86a.jpg"><figcaption>Opposition MPs outside the Parliament holding the Constitution of India.

They must now take other members of the NDA alliance into confidence.</p><p>Unlike the last few years, even opposition parties will have a stronger say in each matter since they have a larger number of MPs. We are already seeing them raise issues like examination irregularities, extreme inflation, etc.</p><p>Discussing and debating issues should always be encouraged. It’s the only way to reach a conclusion that is in everyone’s best interest! A healthy opposition is essential for a democracy to thrive.</p>

This is the first session after the formation of the new coalition government.
