Reiterating their earlier stand, the opposition parties on Monday said that the Centre should not advance the Budget Session of parliament as it would impact assembly polls.
“Government should not advance budget session as it would impact assembly polls,” Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said after the all-party meet convened by the Centre to ensure smooth conduct of proceedings concluded.
The opposition parties have already warned the Centre that any sops for election-bound states may lead to disruptions.
