In a significant move, Tejasvi Surya of the BJP has been named chair of the select parliamentary panel tasked with examining the Jan Vishwas Bill. His appointment reflects the BJP's confidence in the young leader from Bangalore South, as observed in political circles.

Alongside Surya's new role, several prominent leaders have secured key positions in parliamentary committees.
