Tamil Nadu’s Speaker M. Appavu shared big news for state politics: the Legislative Assembly kicks off its next session on October 14 at 9:30 a.m. The day starts with a touching tradition—obituary references to honor those who’ve passed away.
Lawmakers will remember former legislators like Amul Kandasamy, the MLA from Valparai, along with other key figures who’ve shaped public life. The assembly plans to pass a condolence resolution to pay tribute.
To get everything set, the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meets the day before. This group, made up of top ministers and opposition leaders, will nail down how many days the session lasts and what topics take center stage.
A major focus? Presenting supplementary demands for grants in the 2025-26 financial year. This step lets the government ask for extra funds beyond the original budget. Expect some heated debates here, as the ruling side and opposition often clash over spending during these talks.
The session also gives members a chance to spotlight local issues in their constituencies. Think monsoon readiness, welfare programs, and the state’s overall finances—hot topics that could stir lively discussions.
With the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections on the horizon, political watchers say these debates might shape the campaign trail. The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) will likely defend its policies, while the opposition pushes back on governance and economic handling.
Speaker Appavu stressed the BAC’s role in all this. “Before the session starts, the Business Advisory Committee will meet to decide the number of sitting days and the business to handle,” he said.
This October 14 gathering marks the assembly’s final push of legislative work this year, promising robust exchanges across party lines in Chennai.
