Chandigarh, 22nd Sept. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced on Thursday that the state Assembly will convene on September 27.
The decision made at the state cabinet meeting comes a day after the governor rescinded an earlier order convening a special session on Thursday to consider a motion of confidence.
A cabinet meeting was held here today. According to Mann, the Vidhan Sabha session was unanimously decided to be called on September 27.
Electricity and stubble burning will be discussed during the session, he said.
He also stated that they will file an appeal with the Supreme Court in response to the withdrawal of the order calling the special session.
In an embarrassment to the AAP government in Punjab, Governor Banwarilal Purohit thwarted the regime’s plan to call a special assembly session to bring a confidence motion on Wednesday.
The governor rescinded an earlier order calling the special session, claiming that he had sought legal advice after the Congress and BJP approached the Raj Bhavan, claiming that the House rules did not permit it.
The AAP government in Punjab had requested the session to bring a confidence motion, just days after accusing the BJP of trying to destabilize the state government.
The AAP recently claimed that the BJP approached at least ten of its MLAs with an offer of Rs 25 crore for each of them in a bid to destabilize the six-month-old government under its ‘Operation Lotus.’
