Constitution debate in Parliament: Issues and Political clash The ongoing political row has been intensified by accusations surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alleged links to the Adani controversy

Politics

Constitution debate today An agreement was reached earlier this month between the government and the Opposition, setting the stage for debates in both Houses. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will start the debate in the Lok Sabha on Friday. Discussions will proceed on Saturday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected to deliver the concluding remarks in the Lower House. The Rajya Sabha will take it up on December 16-17. About 12–15 MPs from the BJP and its allies, including HD Kumaraswamy, Shrikant Shinde, and Jitan Ram Manjhi, are likely to participate in the debate. Why convene a Constitution debate now? The impetus for this special session stems from the 75th anniversary of the Constitution’s adoption by the Constituent Assembly. The decision to hold the debate followed extensive discussions between Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and floor leaders of various political parties. Political showdown: BJP vs Congress The upcoming debate has escalated into a political showdown between the BJP and the Congress, with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra set to spearhead the Opposition’s campaign. The Congress intends to focus on issues such as the Adani controversy and the alleged erosion of constitutional principles in its critique of the ruling party. 2024-12-13 By Ravindra Kumar Tiwari
