The upcoming monsoon session will take place in the newly inaugurated Parliament building, which was opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28. As per reports, offices have been assigned to most political parties present in Parliament, and various departments have been instructed to shift to the new premises.

Anticipated to be a turbulent session, it coincides with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's strong advocacy for a Uniform Civil Code and the government's efforts to intensify consultations on the matter. One key agenda for the government is the introduction of a bill to replace the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance. This ordinance effectively overturned a Supreme Court ruling that granted the Delhi government increased legislative and administrative control over "services" matters.

While the majority of opposition parties have expressed support for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on this issue, the Congress party has yet to publicly denounce the ordinance. Additionally, the ongoing unrest in Manipur could provide another opportunity for opposition parties to criticize the government.
