The Lok Sabha will meet to begin a general debate on the Union Budget for 2026–27. From 3.30 pm onwards, the agenda will shift to Private Members’ Business. Multiple Private Members’ Bills are listed for introduction, ranging from proposed constitutional amendments and changes to the Representation of the People Act to welfare-oriented legislation for farmers, fishermen, students, senior citizens, women, and workers. The list also includes Bills dealing with education, healthcare, environmental issues, artificial intelligence, digital platforms, labour reforms, and social security.
The developments come a day after opposition parties, including the Congress, held protests in Parliament over a dispute involving Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who was barred from citing an unpublished memoir of former Army Chief General MM Naravane during a discussion on the 2020 India-China standoff.
In parallel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address in the Rajya Sabha, where he launched a scathing attack on the Congress. Referring to the party’s “Yuvraj,” the Prime Minister criticised a “traitor” remark directed at BJP MP Ravneet Singh Bittu, describing it as an affront to the Sikh community and a sign of what he termed the Congress’s “peak arrogance.”
