The Rajya Sabha faced dramatic adjournments as Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge locked horns over procedural disagreements related to the no-confidence motion against the government. The dispute revolved around the scheduling of debates, with Kharge accusing the chair of bias in favor of the ruling party. In response, Dhankhar emphasized the need for order and adherence to parliamentary rules.
This clash highlights the growing tensions in India’s political landscape as opposition parties aim to corner the government on pressing issues such as unemployment and inflation. The ruling BJP dismissed the motion as a publicity stunt, asserting its majority in the house.
The adjournments disrupted legislative proceedings, delaying critical discussions on key bills. Analysts believe these confrontations reflect deeper divisions ahead of the 2024 elections, with opposition parties uniting under common agendas. The Rajya Sabha’s stalemate has raised questions about the efficacy of parliamentary democracy in addressing the nation’s challenges.
