  "summary": "The Monsoon Session of the Odisha Assembly commenced amid considerable controversy, with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Congress targeting the Mohan Majhi government over two contentious issues. The first issue pertains to the preparation of school textbooks, which has been marred by errors, leading to disruptions in the session as Opposition members demanded accountability from the State government. The second issue centers around the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2026, where Congress members alleged that the Centre had taken away the State's authority over its mineral resources. This has prompted the Opposition to demand the withdrawal of the amendments and an inquiry into the potential loss of revenue for the State. The session is set to continue until October 3, with the government planning to introduce six Bills during this period.",
