Government to consult poll panel on budget session
December 30th, 2011 - 6:28 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Dec 30 (IANS) In view of the assembly polls in five states early next year, the government will consult the Election Commission before deciding the schedule of the budget session.

Sources said as the start of the budget session could clash with the poll schedule, the session could begin after the results are out so MPs do not face a problem.
