New Delhi: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha questioned the Centre’s decision to call for a special Parliamentary session and said that there is nothing special about it as normal Bills are being brought in that could have waited till the Winter Session. 

"This is not a Special Session at all. Some astrologer must have said something and the PM believes in all that...They are bringing normal Bills that could have waited till the Winter Session...Don't say that you have no agenda. The agenda is very clear. We would like to see what the other agendas are. But there is nothing special about it," he said.

The five-day special session of Parliament is all set to begin on Monday during which the parliamentary proceedings will shift from the old to the adjacent new state-of-the-art building on September 19.

The announcement of the Special Session came as a surprise in political circles with the parties gearing up for assembly polls in five states later this year.
