Parliament’s Winter session begins from 5 December amid poll heat, Telangana row

The shadow of election results in five states will loom large over the winter session of Parliament beginning 5 December 5, which could see the crucial bill on separate Telangana state. With the Lok Sabha election not far away, the assembly poll results that will be out on December 8 will show which way the political winds are blowing and are expected to heat-up proceedings in Parliament. Opposition and the treasury benches are raring to have a go at each other on a host of matters?in the briefest session of the 15th Lok Sabha, but the dominant issues will take shape only after the assembly poll verdict. A union minister conceded that there is unlikely to be much business on the first two days of the session. Six December each year has witnessed non-BJP parties paralysing Parliament to protest against the demolition of Babri mosque in 1992.
