For the first time in Assam, a sitting of the legislative assembly is being held outside the state capital as the opening day’s proceedings of the Budget session are set to get underway at Kokrajhar on Monday. The sitting, which will start at noon, will commence with the Governor’s speech, delivered traditionally on the first day of the Budget session.
Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Speaker Biswajit Daimary are already in this headquarters town of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), while other ministers and MLAs are scheduled to reach later in the forenoon.
