Bihar Row Halts Parliament: Opposition Disrupts Proceedings
Opposition protests over alleged irregularities in Bihar’s electoral rolls brought parliamentary proceedings to a standstill on Friday, August 8, 2025. The Rajya Sabha witnessed an early adjournment, while the Lok Sabha’s session was disrupted later in the day.
The uproar effectively stalled the progress of crucial Private Member’s Bills and other scheduled legislative business. This disruption significantly impacted the productivity of the ongoing session.
Only two bills have managed to clear the Lok Sabha thus far, highlighting the considerable setback caused by the protests. The opposition’s aggressive tactics underscore the escalating political tension surrounding the electoral roll revisions.
This disruption raises serious concerns about the efficacy of Parliament in addressing pressing national issues. The ongoing deadlock threatens to further delay crucial legislation and erode public trust in the democratic process. The need for a constructive dialogue to resolve the Bihar electoral roll controversy becomes even more critical in light of these events.
