An RT-PCR negative report as well as double vaccination status is mandatory for everyone attending the sessions.
Earlier, a discussion was held to host the budget session in Nagpur but due to lack of facilities like no central hall for the governor's address and the MLA hostel is being used as a Covid care centre.
"Once again the anti-Vidarbha face of the government was exposed today. They merely announced after the winter session in December that the budget session will be held in Nagpur, but they never intended to hold it there," said Leader of the Opposition Devendra Fadnavis .
