Opposition Slams Government Over New Bills in Lok Sabha

In a heated political arena, opposition leaders sharply criticized the government's decision to introduce a slew of bills in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. They labeled the move as a strategic distraction from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 'Vote Adhikar Yatra'. This sentiment was sharply voiced by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on social media, highlighting the bills presented by Home Minister Amit Shah as an effort to deflect public focus from the opposition's campaign.

The Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, faced significant backlash from Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi. Both accused the government of using the amendment to compromise the federal structure and judicial process, particularly pointing out its power to remove ministers and chief ministers under dubious circumstances.

In response to these developments, the government detailed its legislative agenda, which includes amendments to the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, and a bill addressing online gaming regulations. The introduction of these bills, set against a backdrop of political tension, raises questions about their potential impact on India's legislative framework and governance.
