The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) has yet to finalize its decision.
Typically, the Monsoon and Winter sessions include 20 sittings over four weeks, though there have been instances of shorter sessions.
This Monsoon session follows the ruling BJP’s successes in West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry.
The unrest within TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) is expected to unfold during the upcoming session.
A verdict from Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla regarding the requests from 20 TMC and six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs for recognition as distinct groups is pending.
In the Rajya Sabha, the recent oath-taking of newly elected and re-elected MPs has further shifted the political dynamics in favor of the ruling NDA.
The previous session concluded with disappointment for the government as a bill for a constitutional amendment aimed at implementing women’s reservation in legislatures by 2029 and increasing Lok Sabha seats did not pass in the Lower House.
The government is currently revising the bill to potentially raise Lok Sabha seats uniformly by 50% across all states.
The population-based increase in seats remains a significant concern for southern parties.
