Bihar Polls Row: Govt May Ram Through Bills, Bypassing Debate
The government has warned of pushing crucial bills through Parliament without debate, citing continued opposition stalling tactics over the controversial Bihar electoral roll revision. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rijiju issued the strong warning on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.
He cited past precedents where discussions concerning Election Commission matters were deemed unnecessary. The Minister’s statement signals escalating tensions within the Parliament.
The government maintains its desire to ensure proper parliamentary procedure. However, the threat underscores the deepening deadlock over the Bihar electoral roll, a matter of significant political contention.
This move could set a worrying precedent, potentially undermining the democratic process and the role of parliamentary scrutiny. The implications for future legislative processes and the credibility of the electoral system are far-reaching, demanding immediate attention.
