Eager to get some key pieces of legislation cleared ahead of completion of one year in office, the government on Thursday decided to extend the Budget Session of the Lok Sabha by three days to close along with the Rajya Sabha next Wednesday. This session of the Lok Sabha was to come to an end on Friday.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs on Thursday. Top on the government’s legislative agenda for the additional days is the land acquisition Bill.
