Parliamentary Standing Committees Reconstituted with Key Chairperson Appointments
The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have reconstituted their department-related parliamentary standing committees for the year, retaining most chairpersons while appointing some new ones. Congress MPs Shashi Tharoor and Charanjit Singh Channi continue as chairs of the external affairs and agriculture committees, respectively. Other notable appointments include BJP's Anurag Thakur for coal, mines and steel, and Sudhanshu Trivedi replacing TMC's Dola Sen as commerce panel chair. Several NDA allies and opposition leaders hold key committee positions.
