The winter session of the State Legislature is set to take place at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi for 10 days, starting December 9, as per the official schedule announced by the government. Assembly Speaker UT Khadar and Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti recently visited the venue to review preparations for the session.
Key issues, including the five guarantees and their impact on developmental funds, are expected to dominate discussions during the session. Sources indicate that the MUDA site allotment issue, though waning, could also be revisited by the Opposition.
