In a contentious Monsoon Session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju described the legislative period as both successful for the government and damaging for the opposition. The government succeeded in pushing through its legislative agenda, despite the opposition's disruptions.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die, with Rijiju noting a 100% success rate for the session's government business. The treasury benches managed to pass their bills amidst the chaos, with the opposition resisting discussions.
Central to the conflict was the government's push to introduce 14 bills in Lok Sabha and secure approval for 12, while Rajya Sabha passed 15 bills. Rijiju criticized the opposition for protesting three revolutionary bills that propose the removal of high-ranking officials if arrested for serious criminal charges.
