Congress and NDA Prepare Strategies Ahead of Parliament's Monsoon Session Starting July 20PreviousNext

Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament from July 20 to August 13, Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, finalized a strategy to oppose key government bills such as the Delimitation Bill and amendments related to tenure synchronization and ministerial removal. The opposition INDIA bloc plans a joint strategy meeting, while the government, led by the NDA, prepares to introduce legislation including women's reservation and constitutional amendments. Both sides intend to debate issues like alleged Ram Temple donation irregularities, NEET paper leaks, inflation, ethanol policy, and foreign affairs, amid shifting political alliances and defections affecting parliamentary dynamics.
