The last session of the 11th Legislative Assembly in Jammu and Kashmir will begin here on Monday as elections in the state are due later this year.

The six-day session is expected to be a stormy affair as opposition groups like Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and BJP are expected to highlight the shortcomings of the National Conference-Congress coalition government over the past six years.

The ruling coalition will seek to highlight the development works carried out by it during its tenure which began on 5 January, 2009.

An opposition MLA said issues like alleged backdoor appointments, empty state treasuries, corruption, mis-governance and unkempt promises from the election manifestos of National Conference and Congress will be raised during the session.  

 As per the calendar issued by the Assembly secretariat, government business has been listed for 
25th, 26th, 29th and 30 August, while the Private Members’ Resolutions shall be taken on 27 August and Private Members’ Bills on 28 August.
