Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, on Sunday, stated that several key bills are likely to be introduced in the parliament session, further seeking cooperation from the opposition parties.

Opposition Demands Discussion On SIR

The opposition parties are likely to target the Centre aggressively on the revision of the voters list, citing alleged political interference. However, the government has reportedly stated that the issue could not be discussed in the parliament, as the Election Commission has already sought approval from the Supreme Court to conduct the revision process. However, the regional parties of the poll-bound states, such as the TMC and DMK, are likely to strongly raise the issue.
