Low Productivity Marks Monsoon Session Amid Parliamentary Disruptions and Debate
The Monsoon Session of India's Parliament has seen notably low productivity, with the Lok Sabha functioning for just 15-19% and the Rajya Sabha for 33-39% of scheduled time. While one report highlights historical trends and financial costs of such disruptions neutrally, another attributes the low productivity primarily to repeated opposition disruptions led by the Congress party, criticizing their tactics as obstructive. The government has expressed willingness to engage, but parliamentary proceedings remain affected by political conflicts.
