At present, the monsoon session of Parliament is underway in Delhi.
You would only know it if someone said so. The session begins every day. Just as unrest starts to break out, the House is adjourned.
Today too, it was the same scene. Today too, the House has been adjourned.
After this adjournment, it has been reported that today (August 5) Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju met Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi in his room.
Why the meeting?
The BJP government is keen on bringing in two bills: the constituency delimitation bill and the women’s reservation amendment bill.
It was for this very reason that Kiren Rijiju met Rahul Gandhi. The BJP has sought Congress’s cooperation for these two bills.
But Rahul Gandhi reportedly gave an immediate and emphatic “no” to both.
Relying on the support of MPs who broke away from the Trinamool Congress and Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, and with the cooperation of the Congress, the BJP has calculated that it can push through these two bills in this session.
But that does not seem likely to happen now.
Uproar..!
In addition, he has said that there should be a debate in Parliament on the allegation of misappropriation of Ram temple funds... and that Home Minister Amit Shah should explain the police attack on students in Delhi on July 20.
If neither of these happens, there will continue to be chaos in the House, Rahul Gandhi has reportedly told Kiren Rijiju.
So, in the end, will the BJP’s plan not work out in this session too?
