Warning that inadequate discussions of people’s issues within democratic forums could evolve into public movements, Chhattisgarh Leader of Opposition (LoP) Charan Das Mahant has urged the State government to increase the duration and number of sittings for the upcoming legislative Assembly sessions.

“When the problems of the public are not given adequate time or serious consideration within democratic forums like Parliament or Legislative Assemblies, those issues do not simply disappear; instead, they spill out beyond the confines of the legislative chambers and onto the streets. Matters that could have been discussed within the House, grievances that might have been resolved through dialogue, and demands for which the government and the Opposition could have jointly found a solution, instead evolve into public movements, sit-ins, and protests,” he wrote in a letter to Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Friday (October 16, 2026).
