	Description:		The last full-fledged Parliament session of the Modi government commencing on 11 December promises to be a tumultuous affair as a united Opposition prepares to confront the ruling alliance with an eye on next year’s Lok Sabha elections. The outcome of the five state Assembly polls, which are coincidentally to be declared on the opening day of the winter session, will set the mood for this face-off between the rival political camps. For the record, the all-party meetings called by the government and Rajya Sabha chairperson M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday, 10 December will follow a familiar trajectory. The Opposition parties will reiterate that they have no intention of disrupting proceedings but are only seeking accountability from the government. On its part, the Centre will point to the heavy legislative agenda and hope for the Opposition’s cooperation in the passage of key Bills.
