Even as the beginning of the 'Zero Hour'--first in the state Assembly--will mark a notable change in the proceedings of the House, the BJP looks like having already taken the decision to open its weaponry against the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government.

Leader of the Opposition Jairam Thakur said the government looks nervous against the Opposition's aggressive postures on the public issues and it's because of these reasons the session has been curtailed to four sittings.

"The government has no courage to face the Opposition questions on multiple issues of governance, corruption, non-performance and non-fulfillment of the election guarantees," he said.
