Budget Session LIVE: In the last sitting before LS polls, discussion begins on Ram Temple
Budget Session LIVE: The ongoing budget session of Parliament will conclude on Saturday – it was extended by a day – with this being the final sitting before the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, due in April-May. The budget session, which opened, as usual, on January 31, on the eve of the Union budget, was also the first full session in the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated in May last year.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a whip to its Members of Parliament (MPs) from both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha to ensure their presence on account of ‘some very important legislative business.’ The move sparked speculations that a resolution could be passed ‘thanking’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
On January 22, PM Modi attended the consecration ceremony at the temple in the temple town in Uttar Pradesh. Meanwhile, a short-duration discussion on the ‘White Paper’ on the Indian Economy is also scheduled in the Rajya Sabha. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) brought the ‘White Paper’ to show how the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) ‘mishandled’ the economy.

Final Thought
The conclusion of the budget session within the Indian Parliament, checked by discussions on critical issues just as the Sanctuary and the Indian economy, sets a basic preface to the up-and-coming Lok Sabha surveys. With key wrangles about and resolutions, counting an extraordinary note of appreciation for Prime Serve Narendra Modi’s part within the Ayodhya Slam Sanctuary, the session highlighted the government’s administrative needs and accomplishments. The granting of the Bharat Ratna to Chaudhary Charan Singh and talks around financial approaches underscored the session’s centre on national legacy and financial administration. As the Parliament suspended some time recently the Lok Sabha races, the dialogues and choices taken reflect the political landscape’s availability for the constituent fight ahead.
