New Delhi, Jan 28: Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat on Wednesday emphasized that the party will raise crucial public concerns, such as the "falling value of the Rupee" against the US Dollar and the "worsening air pollution" in Delhi, during the upcoming Budget session of Parliament, which begins today. Bhagat stressed the importance of the government showing more sensitivity toward these pressing issues affecting citizens.

Speaking to ANI in the national capital, Bhagat said, "The important issues are the falling value of the Rupee against the Dollar, and air pollution in Delhi. Our party will raise issues that divide society. The government should be sensitive to such issues."

The Budget session of Parliament will commence at 11:00 am, with the Union Budget to be tabled and debated. President Droupadi Murmu will address the joint sitting of both Houses at the beginning of the session.

In addition, Congress MP Imran Masood launched a sharp criticism of the BJP-led government, questioning its priorities and intentions as the Budget session begins. Masood insisted that the government must first address the "burning issues" facing the country before unveiling fiscal proposals.

The Economic Survey of India, scheduled for presentation on January 29, will provide a detailed assessment of the economy for 2025-26, along with projections for the next fiscal year. The Union Budget for 2026-27 is slated to be presented on February 1.

The session will consist of 30 sittings spread over 65 days, concluding on April 2. Both Houses will adjourn for a recess on February 13 and reconvene on March 9, allowing Standing Committees to examine the Demands for Grants of various ministries.

Ahead of the session, an all-party meeting was chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to outline the agenda. Congress MP Manickam Tagore stated that the party would raise people-centric issues, including alleged vote theft, the SIR exercise, paddy procurement, and the restoration of MGNREGA focus. He also assured cooperation during the session’s proceedings.
