There are demands to delay the implementation of new criminal laws scheduled for July 1. The ongoing violence in Manipur and terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir are also major issues. The Agnipath scheme is another point of contention. Additionally, the government will be challenged on issues of price rise and unemployment. Meanwhile, incidents of rioting in BJP-ruled states are expected to be heavily debated as well.
