The Monsoon Session of Parliament proved fruitful, as the government passed key laws introducing reforms in sports, taxation, and shipping, and introduced a bill aimed at enhancing political accountability towards the public.
During the month-long Monsoon Session of Parliament, the Lok Sabha passed 12 bills and the Rajya Sabha 15, even as the session was marred by repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts.
Sources said that during a customary informal interaction with floor leaders in Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s chamber, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked that Congress leaders seemingly do not want the Houses to function, as some of their young orators might outshine the party’s top leadership.
Besides discussions on Operation Sindoor in both Houses, key legislations introduced or passed included the National Sports Governance Bill, 2025; the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025; the Income-tax Bill, 2025; the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025; and the Indian Ports Bill, 2025. In addition, the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, which seeks to provide a legal framework for the removal of the Prime Minister, Union ministers, chief ministers and state ministers arrested or detained for serious offences, was also taken up.
Besides, the government also passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju described the Monsoon Session as “fruitful and successful” for the country and the government but “unsuccessful and damaging” for the opposition.
After both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die, Rijiju said the government had transacted all its business and the session achieved a “100 per cent success rate”, insisting that treasury benches were compelled to pass bills amid din as the opposition refused to allow discussions.
