The much awaited Monsoon session of Parliament is scheduled to begin on July 20 and will continue till August 13.
The Govt to bring five New Bills and two pending ones
A day before the session starts, the government will hold an all-party meeting on July 19 at 11 a.m., where it is expected to share its key priorities.
The opposition prepares - despite being fragmented- are gearing up to corner the BJP-led NDA regime on several contentious issues.
Meanwhile, all eyes are also on the controversial 130th Constitution Amendment Bill.
This draft law has sparked intense debate due to a clause that mandates the automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and other ministers if they remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days in serious criminal cases.
The upcoming session is likely to be stormy, especially as the opposition bloc appears increasingly fragmented.
The government is likely to bring up crucial legislation including the Constitution amendment bill on introducing delimitation and increase of Lok Sabha seats, besides one pertaining to the removal of the prime minister, chief ministers and Union ministers if they are jailed.
The opposition is also gearing up to take on the government on issues such as NEET paper leak and the reported embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The Congress has already slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the vexed issue.
The ruling NDA is set to hold a Parliamentary Party meeting on July 21 to workout its aggressive legislative roadmap.
The meeting, scheduled for 9:30 am will bring together all BJP allies and 'new supporters' of the Govt from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The opposition is also expected to raise the 'remarks' made by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh regarding no casualties during Operation Sindoor.
The Congress has already moved a breach of privilege notice against the Defence Minister.
In a major setback for the Trinamool Congress following its recent Assembly poll defeat, as many as 20 of its Lok Sabha MPs have merged with the National Citizens Party of India.
These MPs have sought separate seating in the House and reportedly extended support to the BJP-led government.
Adding to TMC’s woes, three of its Rajya Sabha MPs resigned to join the BJP.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered a fresh split with six of its Lok Sabha MPs switching allegiance to the Eknath Shinde faction.
Earlier, seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs had also joined the BJP.
The pending bills and those under review also include the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026.
The FCRA bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on March 25.
It will be up for consideration and passage in the upcoming parliament session. The amendments seek to enhance transparency in dealing with funds coming to India.
The Viksit Bharat Education Establishment Bill, 2025, which was introduced in December 2025, was referred to a joint committee of both the houses. Further consideration will take place following the submission of the committee's report.
The Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026 will replace an earlier ordinance. This bill is being introduced to strengthen India's sovereign debt market and also attract global capital flows.
The second ordinance which will be replaced is the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, which seeks to raise the sanctioned strength of Supreme Court judges from 33 to 37 (excluding the Chief Justice of India).
