Voter fraud claims, SIR Phase-2 likely to rock Parliament Winter Session 2025
Being held right after the Bihar Assembly elections, the Winter Session of the Parliament is going to be crucial. The session could be rocked by several issues again this time.
The Opposition is likely to try and corner the government on the nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the alleged vote fraud issue in Haryana and Maharashtra. The first phase of the SIR was conducted in Bihar.
Among the Bills likely to be taken up for consideration in the Parliament Winter Session are The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
The 18th Lok Sabha is yet to elect a Deputy Speaker. The previous Lok Sabha, too, did not have a Deputy Speaker for its entire five-year term.
