Cabinet meet today to sort out vala’s budget speech

Chief minister Keshubhai Patel has convened a Cabinet meeting on Monday to give final shape to the speech of finance minister Vaju Vala for the budget session of the Assembly beginning on Thursday.

It may be recalled that the state government had postponed the budget session in March and had instead opted for a vote on account due to the earthquake that had wrecked Kutch and several parts of the state on the Republic Day.

Sources said the meeting would also discuss strategy to counter the Opposition Congress and discuss the bills to be tabled. The Monday meeting will be part of the series of meetings that have been held over the past few days in the secretariat to discuss various issues related to the Vidhan Sabha.
