The opposition parties are coming together to present a unified front against the Narendra Modi-led BJP in anticipation of the Lok Sabha elections next year, therefore the session is predicted to be turbulent.

According to reports, the Monsoon Session would likely start in the existing Parliament building before moving to the new one. Modi opened the brand-new structure on May 28. During the session, the government is likely to bring a bill to replace the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance.

The Supreme Court decision that gave the Delhi government more legislative and administrative jurisdiction over "services" problems was essentially overturned by the Ordinance. It's also possible that the Union Cabinet-approved National Research Foundation Bill will be introduced. The planned foundation will be a brand-new financial organisation to support the nation's scientific and technological research capabilities.
