If you have been following the Parliamentary proceedings in the past few years, it would not come as a surprise to you that the 2015 Winter Session of the Parliament saw the least number of bills being passed since 2010.

The pandemonium in Parliament is obvious repercussion after the Delhi Court directed the Congress President Sonia Gandhi, party Vice President and her son Rahul Gandhi and 5 others to appear on December 19 for the alleged misappropriation of funds in the National Herald case. But the matter does not end right there. But for Congress the problem does not end there. While the […]
