News X: Last parliament session of 15th Loksabha has north east discrimination on agenda
- 5 years ago
The second half of Parliament's Winter Session is all set to begin on Wednesday amidst the Telangana tangle.
At stake are 39 bills and the reputation of the 15th Lok Sabha which is already going down in the records as one of the worst performing in the Indian history.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath had called an all-party meet to appeal to all the political parties to co-operate in smooth functioning of the House.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj reacted to Kamal Nath's appeal saying, "I heard what Kamalnath was saying. But they have failed to manage their own MPs and their own CM is against them."
The second half of the Winter Session has the Opposition putting the onus of running the Parliament on the government. The government, meanwhile, has appealed to the Opposition to co-operate in the functioning of Parliament and also sought its support in the passage of six anti-corruption bills.
"We want opposition to co-operate in the passage of bills. No ifs and buts. Make your stand clear," said Kamal Nath.
On the government's agenda are 39 bills including six anti-corruption bills, two of which have already been passed by the Lok Sabha but are pending in the Rajya Sabha. The Opposition, however, is set to corner the government on the latest developments in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal.
Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley has clearly indicated that the BJP would not let the Centre breathe easy. "We would raise latest revelation in VVIP chopper deal," he said.
Apart from the anti-graft bills, politically the Telangana Bill assumes greater significance for the Congress. The party is in shambles in the Seemandhra region and is pinning all its hopes on the 17 seats in Telangana to cut down on its losses in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
