The Monsoon Session of Assembly starting Thursday is likely to be stormy, as Opposition Congress announced that it will move a no-confidence motion against the BJP government and the BJD resolved to raise questions on law and order, women’s safety, fertiliser scarcity and other burning issues.

The decisions in this regard were taken at the respective Legislature Party meetings on the eve of the Monsoon Session.

The session will continue till September 25 with a break Sunday.

“The people across Odisha have lost their trust in the BJP government. The state government has failed on all fronts, and we've decided to move a non-confidence motion during this session,” Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Rama Chandra Kadam told reporters.

‘The CLP meeting attended by Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president Bhakta Charan Das resolved that the state government has ‘betrayed’ the people, though it completed barely 15 months in office, Kadam said.

Das alleged that there is no break on the rapes, gangrapes, atrocities on women, Dalits and tribals, while farmers are denied fertiliser.
