Earlier, a discussion was held to host the budget session in Nagpur but due to the MLA hostel there being used as a COVID care centre the government has decided to hold it in Mumbai, which is the norm, the official added.
Traditionally, the winter session of the state legislature is held in Nagpur. However, in 2021, the city missed out on the session as Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had undergone surgery and was not fit to travel. That session was held in Mumbai. However, Opposition parties demanded that the budget session be held in Nagpur in 2022.
With the budget session set to be held in Mumbai, all the three sessions of the state legislature in the financial year 2021-22 are hosted in Mumbai unlike in the past.
