Parliamentary Standing Committees Reconstituted; TMC Loses Two Chairperson Posts
The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have reconstituted 24 parliamentary standing committees for 2026-27, retaining most chairpersons while appointing new ones. Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Charanjit Singh Channi continue to chair the external affairs and agriculture panels, respectively. The Trinamool Congress lost chairpersonship of two key panels—commerce and chemicals and fertilisers—to BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi and rebel leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar. Other parties like DMK, JD-U, Shiv Sena, and Samajwadi Party retained key committee roles. TMC has protested its exclusion from chairpersonships in the Rajya Sabha committees.
