The Winter Session, which will begin Monday, will conclude December 19. This Winter Session has 15 sittings, which the opposition has claimed to be the shortest in Parliamentary history.

“There has to be a detailed discussion in the Parliament on the electoral transparency and silence of the Election Commission on the matter. The BJD will join other political parties and hope that the EC come good on it and such issues are discussed, otherwise it is dangerous for democracy,” senior BJD leader Sasmit Patra told PTI after attending an all-party meeting in New Delhi.
