UPA spells out legislative agenda for last Lok Sabha session - NewsX

The government Monday sought the cooperation of the opposition parties in passing anti-corruption bills as well as the women's reservation bill in parliament. But the BJP and the CPI-M said the Congress should restrain its own members from causing disruptions.

Speaking to reporters after an all-party meeting ahead of the second half of the winter session beginning on February 5, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said there was a need to rise above politics to get the anti-corruption bills and the women's reservation bill passed in this session of parliament.

Kamal Nath said that the bill for creating a separate state of Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh was "a high priority for the government".

Speaking after the meeting, Samajwadi Party and Janata Dal-United leaders said the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government should focus on the financial business during the session.

Kamal Nath said there is a need to pass the anti-corruption bills.

"There is a need to rise above politics. The 15th Lok Sabha should make its place in history," he said.
