Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, K C Venugopal, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Akhilesh Yadav, and Mahua Moitra, stage a protest during the Monsoon Session of Parliament in New Delhi
As the Monsoon Session of Parliament concluded, Opposition parties appeared convinced that they had pushed the BJP on the defensive. The reason: they had, at least for the time being, derailed the Centre’s big-ticket legislative agenda, including delimitation, women’s reservation, and amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act or FCRA, while maintaining “sustained pressure” on the government over student protests.
INDIA bloc leaders, cutting across party lines, admitted that the narrative in the run-up to the session was not in their favour following Assembly election losses in West Bengal, Assam, and Tamil Nadu, as well as the splits and defections that followed.
