After a long delay in the Winter session of Parliament and protests by the Opposition over it, government sources say that the Winter session, which usually starts from November third week, may start from or just after December first week. If the Winter session starts as late as the first week of December, it can't be a long one as the precedent is that the session ends before December 25 on account of Christmas. The delay in the start of the Winter session is largely because of the Gujarat Assembly election. In its bid to win a fifth straight term to power in Gujarat, BJP doesn't want to be distracted by a Parliament session. The Opposition is not happy with the delay in the Winter session due to Gujarat polls.
