“The current Lok Sabha will finish its five-year term without a Deputy Speaker, a position conventionally reserved for an opposition member. This shows how an autocratic Modi Government is violating the Constitution, and strangulating the voice of the Opposition,” he alleged.The 17th Lok Sabha, which is set to conclude on February 9, would have sat for the least number of days for all Lok Sabha that completed their full five-year terms, he said.”This points out how the Modi Government is hell-bent on subverting Parliamentary democracy,” Kharge also said.”For all the claims made by PM of passing a record number of Bills. In his first term, 179 Bills were passed by both Houses and in his second term 213 Bills were passed, which are lesser than 297 Bills passed under UPA-1 and 248 Bills passed under UPA-2, despite widespread disruption by BJP,” he said.Ahead of Parliament’s last session before the general elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Wednesday that the country is touching new heights of progress and its journey of “all-inclusive and all-round” development will continue with people’s blessings.The prime minister also targeted the opposition MPs for frequent disruption of Parliamentary proceedings, saying those habituated to creating a ruckus and disrobing democratic values should introspect as they meet in the last session before the polls.If these MPs enquire in even their own Parliamentary constituencies, they will find that no one remembers those behind such ruckus and disruptions, Modi said.But those who benefited Parliament with their superb ideas, even if they were sharply critical in their views, are remembered by a very big section of people, he said.Modi said he believed that a big section of the country’s democracy-loving people would appreciate the conduct of those MPs who used their wisdom and talent and showed their concern for the masses, even though they might have been critical in their views.
