Parliament Deadlock: BJP and Congress Clash Over '65 Lakh Deleted Votes' in Bihar and Short Winter Session

1 hour ago

In this Special Report, India Today’s Rajdeep Sardesai moderates a heated debate between BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi and Congress MP Syed Nasir Hussain regarding the Parliament deadlock. The discussion focuses on the opposition’s demand for accountability, specifically highlighting the alleged deletion of 65 lakh votes in the Bihar elections and the legacy of the Adani and Sambhal controversies from late 2024. Nasir Hussain questions the government's intent, stating, 'The moot question here is when you are deleting 65 lakh votes in one state, so where does the question comes of whether you are doing videography or not doing videography.' Sudhanshu Trivedi counters by citing the lack of coordination within the opposition, referencing Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav's prioritization of Sambhal over Adani. The debate also touches on the shortening of the Parliament session, with Hussain proposing a longer duration to discuss national issues.

06:33in parliament those divisions are coming out radeep radeep let us discuss this issue in some other

06:43debate at some point of time now what is more important here is whether uh entire opposition is

06:49asking for one uh issue or two issues or three issues is not important how many issues of the

06:56opposition that that the opposition has raised the government has accommodated so for point number one

07:02point number two see you this is the shortest session operation days if you take away three
