However, the main focus of the 24-day session will be the presentation of the Budget for the financial year 2010-11 by Finance Minister Thomas Isaac on March 5. With the elections to the local bodies scheduled for September and the state going for the Assembly elections in 2011, the LDF Government is all set to present a populist budget.

But this alone will not be sufficient for the LDF Government to save its face in the House as the Opposition is all set to list out the failures of the CPM-led Government over the past four years.

It will be the encroachments which are undoubtedly going to put the LDF Government in the dock as the Congress- led Opposition is all set unleash a scathing attack on the CPM and CPI for their `soft stand’ towards the encroachments, especially in Munnar.
