The Winter Session of Parliament this year will run from December 1 to December 19, announced Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju. The session dates have been formally approved by President Droupadi Murmu. Rijiju, in a statement on X, said, “We look forward to a constructive and meaningful session that strengthens our democratic framework and serves the aspirations of the people.”
Key Issues Expected
This Winter Session comes immediately after the Bihar Assembly elections, making it a politically significant period. Analysts suggest that the Opposition is likely to challenge the government on voter list revisions and alleged instances of voter fraud.
The session is also expected to see debates over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) program Phase 2. The first phase was completed in Bihar, while controversies over alleged voter manipulation in Haryana and Maharashtra could add to the intensity of parliamentary discussions.
A Glimpse of the Last Session
The previous Parliament session was held from July 21 to August 21, spanning 32 days with 21 sittings. During that period, 15 bills were passed by both Houses, marking one of the more productive sessions of the year.
Bills Likely to Be Discussed
Key legislation expected to be considered in this session includes:
- The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025
- The Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025
- The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025
Experts note that with the Bihar elections freshly concluded, the session could witness heated debates, with the Opposition and the government likely to clash over both administrative and political matters.
