The winter session of Parliament begins today with the ruling BJP seeking to corner the opposition over recent state poll victories. However, the spotlight will also be on an ethics panel report on Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra amid allegations of receiving cash and expensive gifts for raising parliamentary questions. The report will be tabled in Lok Sabha today. Additionally, the government has presented a heavy legislative agenda including overhaul of colonial-era criminal laws and a bill on appointments to the Election Commission. Meanwhile, the opposition seeks discussions on issues like the Manipur situation, inflation and alleged misuse of agencies like ED. But BJP's electoral dominance may limit scope for criticism.
