INDIA Alliance Rattles Modi Government: Rahul Gandhi, Mahua Moitra Lead Fierce Parliamentary Debates

The Hindu  

Published : Jul 03, 2024 13:57 IST - 5 MINS READ The opening session of parliament, which concluded on July 3, saw a resurgent Opposition for the first time in over a decade. While Prime Minister Modi’s first two terms enjoyed a relatively free run in Parliament due to a weak and subdued Opposition, political observers believe this is no longer the case. “In a healthy democracy, a strong opposition is as important as the party in power.” The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha, which began on June 24, saw Opposition leaders leveraging their oratory skills, using barbs, wit, and sarcasm against the NDA government and Modi. In a scathing attack, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, mocked Modi’s claim of a “divine connection”. Amid uproar from the treasury bench, he defiantly declared: “We are going to defeat you in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly election.” Rahul consistently called out what he perceived as the Chair’s bias towards Opposition leaders.
