The upcoming monsoon session of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly is expected to be a battleground, as the ruling Congress and opposition BJP gear up for a showdown starting Tuesday.

Among the flashpoints are subsidy cuts on power, halting free rural water, school closures, and political appointments in the Sukhu government. The BJP intends to challenge these decisions vehemently, highlighting government's spending patterns and delayed employee benefits.

Conversely, the Congress will defend these choices, particularly in light of the BJP's attempts to destabilize the government using 'money power' as alleged. The session includes ten sittings with extensive questioning and significant legislative activities ahead.
