The Madhya Pradesh Assembly is set to commence its ninth session on February 16 in Bhopal. The session will kick off at 11 a.m. with the Governor’s address, paving the way for discussions on the annual Budget, supplementary demands, and legislative activities focusing on development and welfare schemes.
Discussions on the Governor’s address and Motion of Thanks are scheduled for February 17-18, with amendments required by February 16 at 5 p.m. Private member business, including Bills and resolutions, will be addressed during the last 2.5 hours on Fridays (February 20, February 27, and March 6), with notice deadlines set for February 4-5.
Pre-session notices for adjournments, attention calls, and no-confidence motions will begin on February 10. The Assembly session is planned to run until March 6, with sittings scheduled from February 16-20, February 23-27, and March 5-6. The daily proceedings will include question hours, government business from Tuesday to Thursday, and private member bills and resolutions on Fridays.
Holidays will be observed on weekends and during Holi on March 3, with no sittings scheduled for March 2 and 4. The Assembly Secretariat has stressed the importance of following conduct rules, prohibiting personal allegations and premature publication of notices, while also reinforcing security protocols and voting procedures.
Assembly members have been urged to update their addresses and adhere to notice submission norms for smooth proceedings. This session, under Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s BJP-led government, is expected to feature crucial debates on state issues, emphasizing constitutional accountability. With a diverse tribal and rural demographic in Madhya Pradesh, the session is anticipated to focus on inclusive growth, infrastructure development, and agricultural support through schemes like PM-KISAN and Ayushman Bharat.
Past Assembly sessions have witnessed significant legislation on women’s empowerment and digital governance, and this upcoming sitting is likely to continue that trend. The order, issued on January 13 and gazetted on January 15, has been widely circulated to all 230 MLAs and senior officials.
This will mark the first major Assembly sitting of 2026 under Chief Minister Yadav’s leadership in Madhya Pradesh, where the BJP-led government holds 163 seats. The Congress, with 66 seats, is expected to challenge the state government on issues such as inflation, unemployment, and farmer protests.
