Parliament Winter Session / Modi Government to Introduce 14 Key Bills Amidst Expected Congress Uproar

The much-anticipated Winter Session of Parliament is scheduled to commence on Monday, December 1st, and will continue until December 19th, while over this period, a total of 15 working days have been allotted for legislative business and discussions. The Modi government has prepared a comprehensive list of 14 significant bills slated for introduction in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This legislative agenda is expected to trigger considerable debate and potential disruptions, as the central government and the opposition are poised for clashes over these bills and several other contentious issues.

All-Party Meeting Precedes Session

Ahead of the Winter Session, a crucial all-party meeting was convened on Sunday, chaired by Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The primary objective of this gathering was to discuss the smooth functioning of the session and to deliberate on the respective agendas of various political parties. Senior leaders from the government, including JP Nadda and Kiren Rijiju, were present. From the opposition benches, prominent figures such as Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Gaurav Gogoi, Pramod Tiwari, and Kodikunil Suresh participated. Leaders from other parties, including Trinamool Congress's Derek O'Brien, Samajwadi Party's Ram Gopal Yadav, and DMK's Tiruchit Siva, also attended.

During the meeting, leaders exchanged views on various aspects of the upcoming Winter Session, outlining their expectations and concerns. The Parliament's Winter Session, running from December 1st to December 19th, is set to have only 15 working days. The opposition has voiced strong objections, characterizing this duration as relatively short. Under normal circumstances, a Winter Session typically comprises around 20 sittings, making the current allocation Importantly less. During the all-party meeting on Sunday, the opposition prominently raised this issue,. Demanding more time for detailed and in-depth discussions on several important matters. However, the central government has not yet provided an official response to this demand, and it's widely believed that the session will adhere to the planned 15 working days. This limited timeframe has intensified the opposition's apprehension about not having adequate opportunity to address critical national issues.

Fourteen Key Bills on the Agenda

The Modi government has finalized a comprehensive list of 14 bills for introduction in both houses of Parliament during this Winter Session, while these bills span various sectors, encompassing significant legislative changes that could impact the nation's economy, governance, and social framework. Among the proposed legislation are the Jan Vishwas (Amendment) Bill, 2025, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, 2025 (IBC), and the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, 2025, which aims to replace an existing ordinance. Other notable bills include the Repealing and Amending Bill, 2025, the National Highways (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Atomic Energy Bill, 2025. Economic reform-oriented bills such as the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, the Securities Markets Code. Bill (SMC), 2025, and the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025 are also on the agenda.

Also, the Higher Education Commission of India Bill, 2025, related to the education sector, and financial matters like the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025, the Health Security Cess/National Security Cess Bill, 2025, and the First Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2025-26 (Financial Business) will also be part of this session. Extensive deliberations and debates are anticipated on these crucial legislative proposals.

Congress's Agenda for Disruption

The opposition, particularly the Congress party, has identified several key issues to challenge the government during the Winter Session. The Congress has vowed to prominently raise the issue of "vote theft. " Congress leader Pramod Tiwari explicitly stated that his party wouldn't abandon this issue under any circumstances, while he emphasized that when democracy is allegedly being undermined, not just through "vote theft" but "vote dacoity," it becomes an extremely critical matter. On top of that, the Congress plans to bring up cases related to the deaths of SIR (Special Investigation Report) and BLO (Booth Level Officer) personnel in Parliament. Pramod Tiwari also indicated that the alleged failure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy and incidents like the explosion near the Red Fort would be used to corner the government. These issues are expected to lead to significant uproar from the opposition, potentially disrupting parliamentary proceedings throughout the session.

Anticipation of a Stormy Session

So, to wrap up, the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament is widely expected to be a stormy one. The government will endeavor to advance its legislative agenda, while the opposition will seek to hold the government accountable on various issues and demand answers. The limited duration of 15 working days, coupled with the introduction of 14 bills and the sensitive issues raised by the opposition, could lead to frequent stalemates in both houses. While the all-party meeting aimed at ensuring the smooth functioning of the session, the ground reality suggests deep disagreements between the center and the opposition on numerous fronts, which are likely to make this session challenging and tumultuous.
