The Winter Session of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly entered its second day with several politically and socially significant issues lined up for debate. The VIT University matter is expected to dominate discussions as the opposition plans to aggressively question the government through a calling-attention motion. A heated exchange is likely as both sides prepare their arguments.
Another key issue to echo in the House today is the uncontrolled use of smartphones and the internet among children. The debate will highlight rising concerns over behavioral changes, academic impact, online gaming addiction, and cyber safety. The Assembly may consider guidelines or awareness initiatives to address this growing problem.
Financially, the day is crucial as Finance Minister Jagdish Deora will present the supplementary budget for 2025–26, outlining additional allocations for ongoing schemes and development needs.
The House will also discuss the Shops and Establishments Amendment Bill 2025, which may introduce new rules on working hours, employee safety, and workplace standards. Additionally, the Municipal President Direct Election Amendment Bill is likely to spark political differences between the ruling and opposition parties.
